I never got myself as together as I hoped I'd be yesterday. The plan was to have emailed a wrap-up of my work project and already have my bags packed before I crashed. I got too sleepy too early, and was dragging too badly to finish stuff. So it's the wee hours, I've had a nap, and I'm now packing.
Still have to find out whether I can take my guitar on the plane. There'll be a guitar I can use in Peoria, but I'd like to have one with me during long waits on the way out. If I don't take one along, I think it'll be the furthest I've travelled without a guitar since learning to play. (I have to look that up, actually. I think I went to Atlanta without an axe once in the 1980s. Hmm. Nope, Peoria is farther from BaltoWash than Atlanta, so this'd be the farthest.) Heck, I usually take a guitar or two with me when I only go as far as Philadelphia, and that's only a couple hours drive. It's not as much of a security blanket as it once was, but I still feel underequipped at best and naked at worst if I'm far from home without one.
I'm a guitarist. It's what I am. And a guitarist should have a guitar.
