Well, the trip to ROCK ISLAND, Illinois was FANTASTIC! Got to visit with Artemis ab Zzaj & his wife Suzanne... ate at 3 or 4 local restaurants, drank a few lattes together & had a TUNNA FUN together! Also firmed up the migration (quite a bit, tho' I never trust these contract deals until the INK is DRY) from th' job I'm in to one that will KEEP me HERE in th' states! WHOO-ee!!!! I'm (almost) HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY!
Wrote a review or two for issue 59 1/2 last nite... surely feels good knowin' that I will (prob'ly) be able to "open up" IMPROVIJAZZATION NATION again for submissions!
I'm avoiding th' news like it's the PLAGUE... 'tis downright DEPRESSING to see how rapidly this "war on terror" is disintegrating into (nothing more than) a "re-election scheme". Makes me believe that th' conspiracy theorists may not be that far off the mark when they talk about our "leaders" pullin' OBL outta' their "majick hat" 2 weeks before th' vote.
My son Andy has a series of job interviews lining up... 2 this last week, 1 or 2 next... it's so NICE for him to have CHOICES about where he'll start off his career... much of this (I believe) was prompted by his MOUS certification... heck, they're callin' HIM, not the other way around!
Well, got to run... mo' later, gators!
