ROFL!!! I know too many people who need to read that. I’ll have to send out a mass email, and call a couple people. I could probably tell it to some of them two or three times.

Don’t worry about it. When you actually get there, you wake up each morning thinking you’re still young. (Or so I’ve been told. lol)

How are you doing today?

Thursday is a late day...so is Friday!

Linda is always happy to see me when I get home. I usually am home till 2:00PM, as most of my lessons are in the evening.

When I teach at home, or record in the studio, she curls up at my feet and remains silent for the entire session! She LOVES my music...even drum drills LOL!
