I remember Grandpa telling me that I was born as the
sun was comin' up early in the morn.
Told me I was born early in the morn.
When you lift your eyes and see the sun a-risin' on
the far horizon early in the mornin'.
It was early in the day when I set out to roam.
Kissed my love and went
to seek my fortune far from home.
I set out to roam far away from home.
But today when I awoke I missed my darlin' so. Gotta
have her by my side forever more I know.
Need my darlin' so. Evermore I know.
So tomorrow I'll be leavin' at the break
of day. Gonna hurry to my love and there
I'll always stay.
At the break of day. There I'll always stay.
When you lift your eyes and see the sun a-risin' on
the far horizon early in the mornin'.

Good morning, all! Another beautiful sunrise... Seems to happen every day when your windows face east and your high up over the town. The Food lady gave me something really delicious this morning... I could recognize Thai eggplant and green beans, but there was some kind of minced meat in it. perhaps chicken, all in a tangy red curry sauce. I have to go back down and ask her the name of this one. A bit spicy, but really goooood! Along with a veggie omelet and a big mug of Ceylon tea, it was a nice way to start the day. Meeting with friends for lunch, a few chores to do, then it's a jam session tonight. The more I play this new guitar, the more I like it. It's got a very powerful mid-range to it, and the bass can be felt!
Time to start thinking about wheels... I got out of town yesterday in a mini-van, and it made me realize I was spending too much time in the center of town. I need to get out into the hills. I took some friends to see some ancient stone carvings of the Buddha that I knew of, and when walking, automatically fell back into my "keep an eye out for cobras" jungle walking mode. I guess it's like riding a bike. Not much call for it in Japan, but here, any time you are outside the city, it becomes a requirement.
