Dear friend-colleague people,

Thanks for your kind words and encouragement this week. I'll do everything I can to make sure that the blog and photostream continue to thrive! Drop a comment once in a while, if you can.

See you on the road...

One Month To Go

In this very productive 26th year. Four year blog anniversary has passed, too.

Music and Blog Update

Music first. Erich and I wrote four new songs this weekend. They're mellower than the blues-punk-rock tunes I've been writing with my brother, but they still rock. Our plan is now to try and merge the groups next weekend, and then find a drummer. If we can get Erich and CMike working together, we will still achieve my goal of having "no p**sy songs." By my latest estimation, the new group has ready frameworks written for 17 songs. Most just need lyrics and fills.

Blog is going to feature a lot of nonfiction and photos about this summer's two major trips: NCBBQII (Eastern NC barbecue run) and UP08 (Upper Peninsula of Michigan).

Many, Many Stories

After a long weekend in Eastern North Carolina and over a week on the UP and circling Lake Michigan, I am overwhelmed with things to share.

post times grow later

catharsis and/or denouement may or may not approach. usually they don't.

now featured

in the opening remarks of the wwn january 08 sales conference.

now in austin.

hope to resume writing with more words, as opposed to light, here.

re/un-publishing

too many good photos on this page to leave all this junk at the top. will republish later.

putting a fork in it

I think I may have to retire this blog and start anew.

I have a feeling

that this blog was much better when it was much more personal. Right or wrong?

Fun Fact

During the past week, when my colleagues and I were busy at a conference, blog traffic dropped 55% lower than average.

Firm Reminder

Don't blog about your job, or the defense strategy for your ongoing trial. You must find other things to talk about.
