I am grateful for the opportunity to unplug, reflect, plan, and focus on myself and my future.

Had a wonderful couple of days taking care of some friends’ herd ( a dog and 4 cats) and their house. Splendid place way out in the country with amazing views and few distractions.

I am grateful to have the first song blocked out on the LLTAM project Norm and I are working on.

We have been writing lots of bits and pieces over the last year or so with well over a dozen solid songs started. Hydrogen is the first to get to the “blocked out” stage. Blocked out to me means that all of the primary musical parts (choruses, verses, b are arranged. There is a lot left to do on this particular song like adding other instrument lines, lyrics, etc, but the hardest portion has been completed.

Gratitude – 7/9/2011

I am grateful to have a thoughtful and patient approach to shopping for a new car and not be in a rush to get a different vehicle.

Over the last few weeks, I had done a ton of research on cars and created a short list of makes / models. Did you know that (according to Consumer Reports) the average new car loses 47% of its value in the first 3 years? I began the test driving phase this afternoon and am thus far enjoying the process.
