Numbering Measures

If you're always a few measures ahead you'll never lose a beat. Every now and then there will be an unexpected minor or Major change with a series of rallentandos and stringendos. After awhile you're in between movements, and then in between pieces, so be ready for a new downbeat, new tempo, and new key signature. I just hope there is not a transposition error that could misalign the music. 


I am constantly planning for the next step, the next phase in my life. One day lasts 168 hours because each week is taken in stride. By this measures, there is one more day until New York and only ten days until Turkey. Fourteen days until Israel. Twenty-one days until Colorado. And, twenty-five days until Oxford. Then I am in a different country practically every day. The Hebrew Torah and Christian Old-Testament claim that Elohim/God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh. Hopefully my seventh day will come soon, whether it be during my travels or on the plane in between them.
