Jung’s Weblog

Have been away most of August, it was really hard on a borderline antisocial computer nerd like me, not to mention my despair of being away from MiMi, BooBoo, and LouLou. Thanks to Amelia and her daddy & mommy, the three kitties and all my aeroponic plants were well taken cared of.

After the two recitals in Poland, did another recital in Nantucket — the lack of practicing due to constant traveling, actually helped me get refreshed from this whole year of exhaustion — I enjoyed playing my recitals immensely even though I am still aiming for my early retirement Much prefer to be sincere to my passion for every little thing, making a living out of anything seems to deviate one from the original love — much prefer to be a bum, I guess, be sincere to the impulse to create and nothing more, so far I am getting away with living this way, grateful

It was my 4th time playing on Nantucket, it is such a beautiful island filled with Hydrangeas (not much of a beach person, never actually go toward the sea). I have one surviving potted Hydrangea plant for a year and half now, it is my fantasy to plant it in the front yard of my dream house somewhere in an open field — if I ever actually get time to find that dream…

Then there was Alaska, went with WQXR’s tour for 8 days, was going to edit my 17 CDs but decided to just do nothing and stayed on the ship (feeling terrible about having so many hard working ship crews serving me though). Saw the most beautiful coastline from Vancouver, Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay, Ketchiken, then back to Vancouver. Everyday the sky is of a different color, the water is of different movements and tone, it was moody, and astonishingly beautiful. Maybe I should have gone into the wilderness with an excursion tour, but it was just too much work — laziness took control over me for the first time.

I have uploaded quite a few pictures to my gallery again, maybe you will enjoy them
