Good Afternoon
I’m back... just like the invasion of students, I have driven back from Cape Cod (alas no more weekend trips- I think!) And I am ready to get back on the … errr… ummm.. horse? Rock train? Uhhhuuu.. well I’m back and I’m telling you about shows I like and about what I wanna do and where I’m going etc… criminy!
Ok so here we go, this is the new line up.
1. apologize for having a lame blog (again… and promise to be more diligent)
2. talk about amazing people I am lucky to know and what they have going on
3. shout out some events and shows and then and then and then
4. wrap it up with my own brand of babble
Got it?
Here we go…
I am freakin sorry that I have a lame blog and sometimes choose sitting on the deck at Baker’s Pond with no intra-net over bloggin. Hahahah! Not even a choice. But. This is a long one to make up & it’s jam PACKED.
