Hello how are you? I am fine. That is how I started every letter I wrote up 'til age 15 or so. We are in Switzerland at the moment and have the night off. I can't remember where I wrote from last, but we just keep moving keep doing our thing. The shows are just smokin' our band is in top form I am fucking proud and inspired by this whole thing right now. To be honest though, I really miss my daughter and my dogs and I'm pretty ready to go home for a little while.......... 11 more days. I love playing, but the beauty of my own bed and just any ridiculous conversation with Clara would make me super happy right now.
I can't really think of anything out of the ordinary to report, we have a yoga teacher with us who we all love and John and Anthony do yoga with her every morning, but I always sleep too late cause I don't go to bed 'til 4 or 5 in the morning. I got this cool thing on my computer where I can listen to the laker games and I do it in the wee hours, it is a real pleasure.............. we just rock and travel, rock and travel, I look forward every night to the time on stage, in the most chaotic moments of maniacal rocking I feel calm and purposeful. purposeful??? is that a word??

love flea
