Status Report

1. Blake is still serving with the Army in the Middle East. Note to Washington DC: Either fight to win or bring them all home. What parents will NOT support is the manipulative political BS that neither wins nor loses. "Because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth." (Yes, this subject led me to crack open a Bible for the first time in a couple of years.

2. Trent is committed to being a GREAT drummer, and it shows! If you live near Seattle, go see him perform. You'll be astounded. You can also see him on youtube.

3. The latest for Kathy and I: we "hit a bucket o' balls" at the local driving range. (Fortunately, I wasn't very good. The last thing I needed was some activity for which I had great potential that would eventually end in gross underachievement.) Golfers always tell you not to golf with your wife. I don't see the reason for this. It was fun doing it with the little woman.

4. Interacting (phone and email) with my online students makes me miss teaching in the traditional classroom. Also, I miss you, Mark and Nola (Harbor College Humanities and Fine Arts folks)!

New from the 70's!

Thanks to Charlie for discovering, and letting me know, that some of my songs are now available on iTunes:

"I'm doing my usual search for any new video podcasts on Photoshop, and maybe to see what's new under music from the 70's. Then I remember that you had released several albums, and decide to do a search. Volla! There you is! Cool, dude!"

Thanks for that, Charlie. I am now in the category of "what's new from the 70's." Quite a category. I guess it's better than being dead! (Not the Grateful Dead. Just dead.)
