Amazing what a couple of days of sorrow can do for one's focus. I woke up today, not hurting as much. More importantly, ideas were popping in my head.

A few phone calls later, I was in touch with Hugh, this old buddy from my early improv days. He works at the Starbucks down the street from me now, but more importantly, he is a welder.

So now, I am officially an unofficial constructor of musical instruments. Our first project is a Rebar Sousaphone. Instead of a round bell, it will be pyramidal, each side a different element. It will be a labor of love and sound like utter crap.

But fuck it, it's an idea and I feel like running.

So who else has a breakup-followed-by-wacky-creative-burst story?

Moms are great. Mine cheered me up with one line-
