Whoa big time gap!!  Left Kuwait in July, went to BKK and slept for three days! (really) traveled about a bit, then to Japan, two nights in Japan flew to USA.  Was really great to see my folks, hang out with old friends and family.  Had a hanburger cookout and family jam session on the patio. FUN  But so sad fish weren't biting, too damn hot in Oklahoma in August.so Fishing sucked!!  September was spent finding a new house to live in and moving.  A real "Alice Cooper" month, ala "welcome to my nightmare".  Did one gig on bass for DRB.  Wish I had more gigs and more time for music.  Flew to Virginia in late October for a week, for a class.  It was nice to be on the east coast in the autumn, cool wheather, beautiful leaf colors, fresh air, warm days. Spent the weekend in Nashville, met an old friend and hung out together.  Went to BB King's, awesome BBQ!!!!!  Good House Band too! Club hopped a bit, lot's O' Rednecks and women with Big Hair and loud voices and free expressions!! ha ha It was a trip!!!! Nashville is cool, need to spend more time there.  The trip was ok accept for Delta dicking everything up, late baggage, ticket foul ups caused delay in getting ticket in Tokyo!!! I was tired and without anymore patience, guess I can be an ass sometimes???    Back in Okinawa first part of November working and going to night school to get another degree.  Been busy as hell!!!  No rest for the wicked you say?? I'm not wicked!!!  A little devious but not wicked!! ha ha  Christmas will be on us soon!!! That's good cause things will get slow at work, maybe I will have time for personal (music) pursuits.   January should be good, two weeks in Thailand!! YEAH!! one week of work, one week for play!!! My kind of schedule!!!    Pray for peace and don't for get to let those you care about know how you feel about them every chance you get.  Some day you won't be able to do that again, calling back the wind is something only GOD can do, us simple humans aren't capable of that. So remember it huh?   Peace, Michael
