I just returned from a week-long vacation in L.A. and am feeling unusually refreshed and energized. I'm still getting used to vacations that are actually, y'know, vacations again but even with that in mind, I can't remember the last time I had such a lovely time that was both action-packed and truly restorative.
A nice side effect? I feel I broke through a few logjams that have held back my (personal) writing output, so expect a deluge of new music reviews over at Third Coast Review and more activity here as well!
