I finally managed to talk to Carmen today. She called while I was out in the building drawing and, luckily, Sis called me in rather than tell her I wasn't available.

She sounds interesting. We seem to share some similar tastes. She wants to get a band going, I think. I initially told her that I thought it was a great idea, but now I don't know. Maybe. I would be more interested in jamming with her to get a taste of her music, and maybe even to help her record it if and when I replace my own equipment, but I'm more interested in writing music than I am in performing. A band, to me, is an archaic concept now. A band wouldn't really help what I was wanting to do at all. But when she says that the people she knows are the types who like to push the envelope a bit, it sounds almost interesting. I suppose the best thing for me to do is to sit tight and not make any rash judgements. Playing again would do me a world of good. I think I need that, but I wonder, too.

I need something. That's for sure. I think a certain comraderie would help me. So. Why not?
