Hi
I have been hanging christmas decorat the malls for the past 2 weeks and have had a great run. Suzi is up at muhelberg college and will be home on Tuesday for thanksgiving and i cant wait to see her life has been good to me this year and i hope that it has been  good to all of you. I have often thought i should get back here and write. With my new tablet i may be more active in the future. With love to you all

OK my once a year back to the blog just to update my life.  Suzi is going to college she is 18 and the world is going to be hers to discover. Hope is Hope she is still not putting her full effort into anything but not telling us the truth.  we put an addition on the house and have made our life a bit more comfortable.  I guess that is good but I feel like there should still be something I really want to do.  Maybe when I get the bike out for the season Ill feel better.  Last summer after I posted the whole family went to china it was a great trip and I was happy to be in good enough health to enjoy the trip.  It was my last trip that far away I just cant deal with 18hour flights and sub tropical heat.

My world has not changed that much I hope that you all can say the same.  I wish I was more motivated to write but it is the curse of being so tired and worked out that I just sit and want to be, without the drive to create much in the way of great post or even to tell my story. If you are at the Philadelphia Folk Fest this year come and find me, I'm the production manager and co Chair of production there. it would be nice to see you all.

forgot how to do this

wow, two whole years and I'm back, Feeling like I have to get back here and talk about a few things, My life has changed so much. Dad got remarried I don't have much to say about this but it happened. One of our friends has just told us she is dying of cancer, sad to say it seems like every time I pick up the phone this is one of three things that might be happening, along with kids getting married or having kids,  It is becoming evident that I am now old.  Work has become harder sleep is more important and I seem not to have the drive I used to to get out and do things.  Running around while we build the addition to the house seems to be about all I can take in addition to work and the occasional chance to play guitar.  My new martin 2 1/2 -17 which was built in 1863 is my favorite of the moment and I cant quite explain why I still feel the need to collect guitars I just do!

the kids are doing great and I just cant believe that Suzi is going to be 17 in a week, hope is 12 and doing very well and our cat Burtie seems to be very human as he curls up in my lap.  Don't quite know why but for the moment I am happy to just be where I am I'm still feeling like there should be more to life but I just don't have the drive to go out and find it.  Hope that you are all well.

been much too long

Ive been on FB and kind of lost the desire to rite longer posts, but I have been working on one for a while and Ill get it up this week, just needed to look and see if I was still here.

almost august

I seem to have fallen off the face of the earth, Ive been camping and working and playing guitar and in general not spending as much time on the computer, I cant say it is a good thing but it is different, Ill be the co -chair of the production committee for the Philadelphia folk festival this year and for as many as I can muster till Im too old or dead. I like that idea of being a part of something bigger. Ive worked at the fest since I was 16 but I never thought I would be part of running a major committee for the fest it is kind of nice that they thought that well of me.  Have a good rest of your summer I know Ill be busy till the end of November at this point!

up for air

Well Ive been out running like someone is trying to kill me for the past few months, and now it is time for me!  I bought a camper and will be trying to get away for the weekends when I can. I have also gotten my old motorcycle out and had a few very nice rides.  Seems like the world is running on the fast spin cycle and the load is a bit off balance.  I hope that all of you are doing well.

the first motherless mothers day

Well Its almost over the 1st year of not having my mom for mothers day. It seems so strange and my heart is so heavy. No joy many tears even when the memory was a good one it was just too hard to deal with. It will get better "they" say I just dont see it now. Ask me in a few years I tell"them" Im just going to bed I need the break from the sadness.
