A beautiful day on Main Street. Kids pour out of the Music Hall from a matinee production of Grease. The sun is shining, parents are with kids, there's lots of little shops and cafes up and down the block; but still in the back of my mind I know the ghost of the headless horseman is gearing up for a ride through nearby Sleepy Hollow tonight. He was a Hessian solider after all...I wonder if Martin and Volker know the story?... read more

I wake up to a grey sky. Coffee helps kick start the day. I head for the local record store for warmth. Vintage Vinyl is a mecca for all things music/film/vinyl. There's a dog inside to greet me who's lost and looking for its owner. The local working behind the counter assures me that they're taking care until the dog is reunited with the home base.

I immediately start missing home and hanging out with Nova and my two cats... read more
