Brainstorm

So I must confess, I do miss blogging here. After what was about a two-month hiatus, I find that I can't help myself. But don't expect miracles, okay? I want to tell you (although this isn't why I broke down and decided to post a blog entry) that I'm busily writing my memoirs, A Polite Little Madness. In fact, I've been writing like a fiend and I'm actually enjoying it. No sludge, no drudge, just joyous spillage. Maybe it primed my blogging pump, I don't know, but it's nice to see you again. At least, I hope you're still there.

Letting Go

I'm letting go of this blog for a while because, due to my health, I must choose my projects wisely. I used to be a great multi-tasker, full of excitement and ideas, but these days I have limited energy to spend and there are other things that I would like to dedicate myself to before I shuffle off of this mortal coil. Not that I'm going anywhere any time soon, mind you, but you get my meaning. Presently, these important things include writing music and writing books, and I'm planning on recording an album within a year's time. The archives will remain open, although I have already closed the comments. Anyone who really cares to keep in touch can follow me on either Facebook or Twitter. That's about all I can muster just now, I'm afraid. I hope I'll be back, but after 12 years of it I'm tired. If anything really exciting happens, I'll come back and let you know. And don't forget that this blog is part of my main website, where I post news items on the home page.

Thanks for everything!

I loved horses and, growing up on a ranch in the Santa Ynez Valley and having lots of girlfriends who rode both dressage and western, it wasn't at all unusual that I should lean in this direction. I was never attracted to the local rodeo scene, however, with its barrel racing and such. I wanted the silks...
