Please don't hate me?

For all those who would like to beat me right now because I can't seem to manage to keep things in line on the blog, I apologize. Things are good, but incredibly nuts.  I eat, sleep, and work. I check my email once in a while with good intentions of getting back to people when I have time enough to devote the attention they deserve. Instead, I end up making people think they don't matter when they don't hear from me and think I've dropped off the edge of the earth (not quite, but Molalla is close...). So for all of those who would like to throw a shoe at my head, I apologize and will try to keep up a bit better. I will be dragging myself into Hollywood Bowl because I do want to see people, even if I fall asleep and drool on someone's lovely multi-colored loafers. Here's hoping February has room for a little balance.
