As we drove across west Texas again, on our way to El Paso and beyond, we traced the same path as the hero in our book on tape. If you need a good story to listen to while driving through Texas, All My Friends are Going to be Strangers, by Larry McMurtry is a good one. Especially if you are headed to San Fransisco eventually. It's funny, no matter what music or book we put on, it always corresponds perfectly to our situation at the moment. Maybe it is synchronicity, and the fact the we are paying new attention to what currently influences our minds. But the correlary relationship between input and observation has been something of a wide-eyed wonder several times during this journey.
The road wore usdown a bit in Arizona, and we pulled off into a rest area to get a couple of hours of sleep before Phoenix. We have the great composer, pianist and omelet-maker Ez Weiss to thank for our stay in Phoenix. Also Heather, another fantastic Portland musician, was a total delight.
The show at Mama Java's was small, but still fun, and the venue was very sweet with probably the nicest baristas in the entire world, ever. My friend Shannon lives in Phoenix half of the year, and Portland the other half. It was nearly an optical illusion to see her someplace other than Sanborn's for breakfast! 
But we love her turf and are excited to return to the desert again. Thanks to all who kindly supprted us on this leg of the tour.
