=-The Personal Stuff-=

You can usually find me where Hard Night's Day is playing ... as I need to dance ... at least once a week.

I'm having fun with my CD, Shaman Rock - the Happy Cat sessions... which were originally done in a demo fashion ... one take, no overdubbing. Quite fun!

It's out now! Soon you'll be able to buy it on amazon.com, and CDBaby.

I'm so excited I've gone w00t!!!

And, while there is nearly always a song or two brewing in the back of my soul, trying to connect my heart and mind with the healing sound of dancing love ... this album is now set. On to the next one.

The next one will include a few cover songs. Me singing and playing other people's songs. So, I have a working title: Y'all Way Rock ... because y'all rock ... way rock.

I've been w00t ... truly, I have been.

I've been Daydream ... I've been Siesta ...

Check out what's there: >>>==> The Happy Cat Sessions.

By golly! I have a BLOG! Check it out!

Two from my first marriage ... back when I was 18. Hardly ever see them, although the younger of the two was married a few months back ... and I planned to attend her wedding, but she went to Vegas with the guy instead. I have pictures, though ... usually with me, if you want to see.

Three with Sarah ... who died of brest cancer when they were 10, 6, and 2 ... are 29, 25, and 21 now ... and who moved out of my house a year and a half ago. Maria (pronounced like mariah), Thyme, and Bow (short for Rainbow).

And Suzi-Q ... fifteen, and living with her mom, step-dad, and half-brother in Minneapolis.

Having kids has been my main path for spiritual growth ... until recently. Now the main path is threefold: singing, dancing, and ... guess what? ... I'm still the poppa. Once a poppa, forever a poppa ... but I think Maria was out of High School before my soul grew big enough, soft enough.

Back to spiritual growth for a moment ... dancing turns out to be a wide path for growth, and my particular trail has me spinning all over it ... as did raising kids.

I have a little sailboat (22 foot) on Lake Lewisville ... and I'm always on the lookout for sailing minded folks to go out on the water with. I dance alone by choice, but I sail alone because it seems to me that no one I know is interested enough to make the effort. It's very *little* effort ... ah ... we all move too fast.

Someday, I'll have photos of my boat (Seahunt, a 25 year old, 22 ft. Buccaneer) up here too ... but not today, as I have none that shows her true inner soul (or would that be her inner keel?).

I used to ride a motorcycle, nearly every day ... even though I now have a car.

The motorcycle is broken now ... the case came down hard on a curb, cracking the timing gear cover, and taking some of the engine case with it. Perhaps it will be fixed someday ... right now I can't think about it.

Here's a picture of the folks I work with that ride too ... taken on National Ride to Work Day, by my friend David Starr (well ... with his camera, at least ... he *is* in the picture, after all). I'm the guy on the yellow bike. Dave is sitting on the bike next to me ... and looks even older than me. Lots of our riders didn't make it into the photo that day ... odd.

If you send me eMail, I'll send you more pictures of my bike ... with it's ScottOiler installed now, I have 30,000 miles on a DID chain, and have only had to ajust the slack by a half turn ... and the chain is clean all the time. The bike itself had 57,000 miles before I broke it.

Yellow. It's a good thing. The color of my ArchAngel (Chamuel)clan ... I think. I may have blended a couple clans together ... or more.

I do Mer-Ka-Bah meditations daily (well ... usually daily) ... and I've been a vegetarian since 1971. For a while I was vegan, but have added dairy back in to my diet. At least, half-and-half for my coffee.

For a while (1992 thru early 2003), I also ate fish, but have eliminated it again at the request of one of my spirit guides ... who appears to be Picean ... but I really don't know.

Oh ... and I ate bacon for a while too ... I was a bacotarian.

I used to archive these things ... I'll organize someday, but not now.

I've been distracted. I will now be attracted.
