Just noticed it's been three and a half YEARS since anything was put up here.After trying to put into words the cause for the delay such as:1) abducted by aliens,just got back to earth 2)abducted an alien-sick of hearing "are we there yet?" 3)alienated band members by abducting their paychecks...4)nothing but the daily grind .Will inform about the minutiae in alienating detail soon....bring a pillow!
Too Hot Outside!
