Week 2 Joshua Radin / Gary Jules / Amber Rubarth on Tour….. I think we were in Montreal and Canada at the beginning of this…. La Tulipe and the Opera House (I love Canada now, was my first time there!)

Then Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Detroit, Cleveland, Columbus….

My birthday was 9/21.  I walked through a rose garden all morning, beautiful, and smelled every kind.  My favorite was one called “Quietness” - light pink.

Then came back to the bus and they took me out for delicious mexican food, drank some margaritas….

What a week.

CD Release Party for my new album GOOD MYSTERY @ Joe’s Pub in NYC *sold out* !! and was soooooo much fun with so many special guests of my favorite people.

Walked across the Brooklyn Bridge for the first time.  Gorgeous.  Ran it again the next morning.

Brunch with friends…. and David Peters (not shown) in town… always fun!

Then D Lo had a taco party that was D Licious.  So delicious even food connoisseur Adam Levy was baffled by their perfect taste.

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.” ~ Albert Einstein
