i'm looking back to the last posting and it's been so long since it that maybe you thought the puzzle ate me! it WAS consuming, but i am through with it and need another. i'm writing this without my morning coffee so beware!

playing bass more lately and getting some lessons too! i also had my once-or-twice-a-year binge of SIM computer games last week (this time the game of choice was SimCity 3000)... i have yanked myself away from it for a few days so maybe the binge is over but you never can tell.... bwahahhahaha

i was practicing the other day when this HUGE frikkin spider ran up the wall in the studio... my composure was fairly admirable...it was all i could do to gently set the bass down and unplug, then run to get some tissue and a ladder for spider hunting... i flushed him down the toilet for good measure...you know that feeling when you are over sensitized to watching for bugs and you get prickles on your body imagining more spiders? that was me trying to practice after that.... ew!
