Another Year Gone By

 Posted on September 19, 2003

Well, yesterday was my birthday and I certainly feel much older but that might just be the hangover. Overall, it’s been a good year though filled with many challenges. This was my first full year in Oklahoma after fleeing from Chicago with debtors chasing me all the way. Initially I thought that Oklahoma would not be a place for me to live happily, but really the old line about “anywhere you lay your hat is home” holds true. [Read More]

An uneventful day to be sure, in fact almost all of it was spent sound asleep. It had been a long week so I celebrated a bit last night with Andy and Lisa. Went to one of the great music joints of the world, Danny’s Blues Saloon. This place looks like the movie set of every roadhouse bar scene.

Well, I’m sure by now I’ve chased off all of my frequent readers by my complete lack of posting. However, at long last I am emerging from the project from hell. I’ve spent the last month doing that which I hate most . . . hacking. However, I guess it’s pretty much over now and after a couple of drinks I should be able to assuage my guilt. So, I hope that the readers will return and I will not to have to perform another vanishing act. [Read More]
