PODSAFE MUSIC NETWORK

Hey Y'all! I just registered on the Podsafe Music Network, which is a community of podcasters and indie recording artists united for the purpose of promoting podcasting and indie music. Search for me on the homepage. I've got three songs on so far, and will be actively posting more!

Rock on!

Grateful

I try to remember to be grateful, but sometimes I get caught up in the day to day dealings that I lose sight of the beauty and blessing we are inundated with daily. I think it begins with my attitude in the morning. I need to focus upon awakening on the majesty of God. Oftentimes I am not in that space automatically, so it's a matter of getting myself into that zone, so to speak, and allowing the Spirit to calm me and envelop me, and energize me for the coming day.

Sometimes I'm such a putz I just go on blindly into the day in a reactive mode. I'm here to tell you that most certainly doesn't do it for me. I want a new and living way.

Kitchen now and then pics

Here are some views of the kitchen...now and then...Please excuse my laptop, sushi, TP, etc on the table (we haven't had a kitchen table in 12 years. I used to have my pc set up in the corner behind the table. The middle pic is a before shot. We tore out the bar to make more room.
I'll be posting more pics soon.

Summerville

Betsy and I are in summerville, which is just about twenty miles outside of Charleston. We are here meeting up with my buddy Mark Weisman and his daughter Monika. Monika is here for a soccer match. It's really nice to see them. They live in Nashville now, but I've known Mark since 1988 when we were still living in L.A. We are going to take a jaunt to Charleston to show them the town, and to eat some lunch. There's some really good eating in Charleston. It's a nice, sunny afternoon. A great afternoon to do a little sightseeing. I wish I was set up to do a podcast. I'd give you all a soundseeing tour. Maybe nextime, huh?

NEW LAPTOP!

I finally bit the bullet and bought a new computer. I found a good deal on a Compaq at Circuit City in the price range I can afford for now. It's nice and portable and it contains the features I need for the time being, although I'll most likely be upgrading the RAM if I run into any snags. Compared to my old PC, this ones blazing! My old desktop is nearing eight years old and was slow and out of room. It was (is) running Windows 98 and I couldn't run any new apps on it at all. I wanted a Mac Powerbook but in reality it's out of my price range at the moment. Also, as you may know, Mac just came out with an awesome Intel dual core processor laptop which I think is going to probably replace the Powerbooks. I know some Apple stuff is probably going on sale soon, but even so, I have decided to postpone making the switch to Mac. I am still quite interested in that prospect and will consider it in the future.

Roger and I are finally getting back into some serious (but fun) music woodshedding. Right now we're in the process of building our songlist and thinking about sets. It feels good to be moving forward again. I seem to have been in a bit of a slump since well before the holidays with the remodel and all. I was heavily stressed out for months. Thank God things are turning around and I am coming into some sort of clarity again. I think settling back into the house helped a lot (Christine, I'll have some pics up as soon as I can). I have not been online regularly at all and it's good to be back.

I hope all my friends are doing well. I look forward to re-connecting...
