OK, it's decision time. It's obvious that the amount of activities I've had lately came with consequences. I'm hardly at home before late most of the week days, I've a hard time making time to be with Eva, let alone take care of my own home. It's just too damn much, and generally deteriorating.

So, I've decided to take a break from the choir. Yes, I know, I was all excited a year ago, but the way things look right now, it's a luxuary I can't uphold anymore, if I want to stay healthy.

I'm also going to cut down on the time I spend at Stacken unless I can find a way to stay in focus with the stuff I work on. I could, for example, only appear every second week...

I've taken up singing in a choir again! I've been thinking about going back to my old (1991-1996) choir for a year, but didn't dare because of the way I left it in '96 (I sneaked out within saying a word to anyone).

Last saturday became a turning point. I was invited to the party that was thrown for the choir's leader (still the same), and while we were all singing for him, I felt a great pull, a few tears fell and I felt another part of me had found home again. A sweet, sweet moment. A couple of hours later, I asked the leader if there was a need for a tenor (a silly question, really. There's always a need for more tenors), and said that I'm 90% sure I want to start again.

So, after thinking about it for a few more days, I went to today's rehearsal (actually, yesterday's at this time of writing). I found myself at home immediately. This is good. I haven't been singing at all for 8 years, and it feels real good to be back.
