Music on the Move
Okay, enough about "God." Back to me now... This is it: the big promotional push until Wednesday, February 16th at 10:00 p.m, which is my next big gig. I promised them I'd fill the bar, so help me out (details on the right of this page). As part of my personal...
“What do you believe is true even though you cannot prove it?”
Now that we've got this roiling discussion about god going, I'll lob the next ball over the net. Actually it comes from Lawrence of A Better Nation who sent me this link to a New York times article for which fourteen scientists were asked, "What do you believe is true...
Countless Souls, etc.
I appreciate Jackie's post on this same subject of the religious response to the incredible horror and destruction of the Dec. 26th tsunami. Jackie writes her response to the Newsweek article Countless Souls Cry Out to God and my post of last Friday. If I'm reading...

I said, "I'm thirty-eight and I've never been married! What does that tell you?" He said, "It doesn't tell me anything." I can't comprehend his answer, but I sense that if I could it might change my life.

Happy New Year!

40th birthday – a year and a half away
I am the most beautiful, amazing sweater you ever saw and it's the only one left and it's perfect for you and it's in your size and it's on sale. You feel so lucky; it seems too good to be true. How is it possible that this beautiful sweater was overlooked by everyone...
