I have to thank Pauline for changing my blog over to this new and improved software.  There aren’t too many people in the world who will do all that work with little return.  So, thanks, Pauline.

I think she is trying to guilt me into writing more - so maybe there is a return after all.  That’s her picture of the Parthenon, too.  I love the Parthenon, and the piazza and city it is in is one of my favorite places, but I don’t think I have ever taken a picture of it.  I think I tried but it wouldn’t all fit into the frame.  I am about as good a photographer as I am a good regular blogger.  No that’s not true!  I am a really good photographer, when I take the time to do stuff like that.

I’ve changed a lot since I first started blogging.   I’d like to say I’ve become more private (which is kind of true) but the bottom line is that several things have happened - I suffered major burnout, I got some weird emails, and I sort of forgot how to do it.  Mostly, it was the major burnout that killed the old blogger in me.  Now, all I have to do is try to find the new blogger.

In June, I made a pact with myself that I would write every day for the whole month!  But then all of a sudden June was gone and I was like “Wa the Fa?”  It went THAT FAST.

Got some cool stuff  coming up though, like, for instance, RADIOHEAD WEEK where I will be going to four shows in five days!  Plus I have KICK ASS SEATS, people.  We are talking THE BEST SEATS EVER.  So, I guess I will be doing some writing about Radiohead though I guess a lot of my readers don’t really give a fig about that.

What else?  My brother Tom just left for three months in Germany where for the first few weeks he’ll be tour manager for Hot Rod Lincoln (opening for the Stray Cats in massive venues all over Europe) and for the last few he’ll be on tour with his own band, the Mississippi Mudsharks.  My other brother, Jay and his wife Carrie just gave us the second Baby Essa who I haven’t seen yet but I can’t wait to.  He looks awesome. 

Wow, this is really scintillating stuff, but let me ease back into it if I may.
