Matt's Missives

well, here i find myself back on denman for a while, building garden beds and doing chores. it's kind of nice to be back and in one place for a few weeks. but there's something that's bugging me here--that no one is interested in having any kind of fun. i got here on friday, and so far we've really done nothing but work. now, don't misunderstand me-- i know how much work this project is involving, i have a good sense of the value of work, and quite often get pleasure from it. but i also believe that in order to really do good work, you have to balance it with a certain amount of leisure time. i mean, really: how healthy is a life that you're waiting until tomorrow to enjoy? i need to find a way of bringing this up so that people don't get defensive and tell me "i don't really understand the work involved in this place," cause that's just a load of shit.
despite that, though, it's nice to have some fresh air, time to play guitar, read, etc.
