Take care, bro.

i've received several messages from friends about posting an update here.
it is true there are people here who care for/ about me, and it doesn't take too much time out of my day to just post a litte update, so i figured i would.
i heard from a little birdy with a big nose that my name has been mentioned once or twice around here, and that prompted me to stick my nose in.
Cool.

hello folks.
one of my all time favorite blues guitarists - stevie ray !
was wondering how many stevie ray fans there are out there ?
Any song, any album. I actually like him just as much as Cash, just in a different way. Stevie spoke with the guitar just as hard as Cash did with his voice.
I remember exactly where I was when I heard he died, was the first "star" I actually cried over the death of. Like Hendrix, you can't even inagine what they would have been with more time.
ever have one of those really weird moments?
part melancholy...fleeting and just weird.
it's like certain uncontrollable elements come together to create an overwhelming sadness...or maybe it's just the caffeine.. so here i am sitting in a starbucks, in one of the comfy seats...been here since opening at 6am...when all of sudden i'm reading the post by uzzah, listening to the starbucks channel play georgia on my mind by ray charles...followed by i left my heart in san francisco...fighting back tears to no avail....and everything around me is hazy.
Update...back under the blanket...swapped the coffee for wine. Thinking about whether it is too late to be makin wine inspired phone calls...
i am sure this isn't a mid-life crisis i have done that and got out of the jws.
.
but i am seriously thinking of just leaving the west with its rat race, emphasis on money, senseless tv and media, cars, shopping malls, pre-packaged food, supermarkets, etc, etc, and moving to india to live in a small cottage near a beach somewhere.. anyone else got the urge to get out of the rat-race?.
I did it, started my own business and now live in the desert...but it's not so deserted.
Best thing I ever did.

At the moment I am under the electric blanket eating a cinnamon roll (from the oven) and drinking strong coffee, reading here. I am at my home...and no I'm not telling you where it is, and no, you can't come over, and NO YOU CANNOT HAVE A CINNAMON ROLL.
dear crazy-as-bat-sh*t-lady: .
yes, i have rope.
no, you can not have my rope.
It's pretty cold in SantaF*ck today. Snowin again...heh heh heh. Time to go terrorize the motorists...
i have met quite a few folks from the forum, and between topics and posts about meeting so and so, and what is this person like, and the scandals, i felt kind of compelled to do a little mind dump on a topic about it and my experiences, and i hope no one thinks i didn't notice or remember them, these are just the most recent and those i am a bit closer to for one reason or another.
the last thing i would want to do is talk about someone when i don't know if they would mind or not...sorry if it happens here.. first, i had a person i respect a lot tell me she thought i was much more together in real life and was really suprised when she met me...that makes me wonder what kind of wreck i read like on here.
then it dawned on me, most of us post here as a release of things that aren't so great.
I was *this close* to signing off this place for the last time, not that anyone would notice.
I noticed. Something else Crumpet clued me in on was that people think if you don't respond to their comments, you don't care, or notice. I told her I was going to try to do better about that because it is totally not the case for me. The people I most admire I have said the least to, if anything at all. I try to stay out of the way unless I see something that I just can't leave alone or either see someone in a state that I have been in and might want to know what helped me...just in case.
I can't really think of anyone here that I consider "unnoticeable". Silence does not always equal indifference.
Nice to see some proper english coming out from overseas again...and yea...I'll be taking the piss out of you for at least a little while longer, Miss C. Oh...remember me warning you about the weeks after you got back? Do ya?
This is called family...I know we have to remind ourselves of that sometimes since some of us never really knew what it was in the first place. It aint perfect...but it is ours as much as we want it to be. Be nice.

ok, this is a totally self serving thread, please excuse the me me me attitude this will have, but i have to vent, and this is the place i do it best.. i just got done starting research on eryn/eclispegate and realized i have been away for a bit.
it's insane the scandals that go through this place.
i can assure you i am real, and i hope those who know me would say i am as real in person as here.
Sorry Wonderlust,,, that record for reproof, may be mine.
I haven't been able to comment, or go out in field service, or even give talks for 30 years now. I was pretty upset for about 20 of them, then I realized that I hadn't been to but 2 meetings since it happened. So I quickly got over it. LOL
Freakin awesome, that cracks me up. I faded right after mine...
