The Sala-Blog

There's an odd feeling I've had a few times in my life, just before big ideas come. I had it before I put a plan into action to have ice cream with Bill Clinton and Al Gore on their famous bus tour campaign trail. I had it before I helped save my favorite restaurant as a teenager. I had it before I convinced all of my favorite musicians to form a band. I had it when I started recording Stout & Martinis. I had it when I started the newspaper. But unlike all of those other times, I'm not sure what the move is. "Hey, what's the big idea?" I don't know. The feeling is looming, the idea is absent. But I'm hopeful. Usually this feeling gives my life purpose for an extended period of time.
