Yeah man, sorry for the long silence. Like I said, trying to get back on the horse. Now that I don't have any projects competing for computer time, should be easier to keep in touch with the scene. Twins! Due in the next few weeks. Probably sooner rather than later. This'll probably mean even more sleepless nights with nothing to do but stay awake until next feeding time. You can look forward to accordingly loopy posts, hopefully.

Asheville, sadly, is out. We did the cost-to-income analysis, couldn't square it. That place is expensive. Right now, we're looking at Louisville, KY. Which is decidedly not very close to NC. But you travel a lot, right? That's like a hop skip and a jump. A couple jumps.

Re. new stuff- just finished off (maybe) what's looking be an EP. Once I've confirmed that there are no more songs on the horizon, shipping it off to the label to see if they'll bankroll it without any promise of touring, which I don't plan on doing ever again. I'll keep you posted! What about you, working on new stuff?

Good to be back, man, thanks for rooting me out.

    Twins! Due in the next few weeks
-We have a son due to arrive late february. I've not really processed the changes that are heading my way and that's just with one baby. You are going to be a busy fella.

-I'm telling you, the cost of living in Durham is pretty great. Lot's of opportunities for employment, we have Duke, UNC and NC State all right here, a great music scene and a great place to raise a gaggle of kids -which you will soon have.

-Looking forward to hearing it. I can't say I blame you on the touring. I do miss playing live but I've got no desire to be off touring or even playing every weekend. I'd love to have one great show a month. As for my music, I recently met a drummer and I'm thinking of putting some new tunes together. I really miss making music with other people. I've been recording a bunch of stuff on my own and it all begins to sound similar to me. I need some outside influences on my songs.

edit: I did a bit of research and you need at least 5 kids to qualify as a "gaggle". Oh, and they need to be geese. -Get on that.

Hey hey! New youngun for you guys, too? Congrats! We'll have to commiserate when we're both good and sleepless.

Re. Gaggles- if it can be done with swans, it can be done with geese.

And with that image I shall head off to bed. Thanks for the ensuing strangeness that awaits me.
