Axis 30th Anniversary

Where's the Dude

Um....you okay, Biff?

He's around. I get threatening emails on a regular basis. I'm trying to convince him to go to Cinci to see the Psychodots....but I believe he's scheduled to go visit the Evil Rodent Empire (Disney something) with his GF and one or more of her kids.
 
He's probably bogged down in the implementation details of his "school of bass".

(i.e. he's doing some real work! yecch!)
:D
 
Still kickin BP just busy as a poopstick with his tail on fire...here's the brief outline:

A) Still in heavy setup work for School of Bass and had a huge print media deadline to get past last week at the same time my graphics guy's Mac took a dump which I had to advance him money to get repaired so I could make ad deadline....problem solved by throwing money at it. Many other things going on with SOB website design, setting up dba's, bank accounts, artist relations, blah, blah, blah.

B) Still in physical therapy and traction twice a week at hospital for my radial nerve palsy on left arm. Two more weeks and it's working....now 75% recovered.

C) Dude Jr, was unemployed and homeless again in SoCal for a bit there. Problem solved by throwing more money at it. (plus started new job again yesterday)

D) Both folks have been down with more physical problems which I've been dealing with by calling in specialists etc....more and more time being devoted to their care and well being...problem in the works of being fixed by calling in help that was referred to me a few months ago by Psychoward. (thanks Chuck!) Pop's 84th B-Day is today and Karen's in the kitchen baking him a cake and lamb chops defrosting.

E) Dealing with some issues with Karen's 15 year old son and juggling dual households on opposite ends of town.

F) Trying to figure out way to ship an amp over to a bass playing soldier over in Iraq that the Pitters kicked in and bought for him.

G) Dargin's got 4 more EBMM's ready to roll so I'm processing those orders.

H) Planning a one week vacation in May with Karen in Mexico followed up with a few days in Chicago to oversee my DPLE run production capped off with a trip to Cincy to catch "The Dot's" with Jack and Ben.


Other than that, it's just the usual trip out here....

Thanks Sterling...I know you know what the deal there is. It's not been an easy 3.5 years over here but I would never consider doing otherwise.

I'm Qing him up some lambchops for dinner and Karen baked him a cake and bought him some new fancy schmancy PJ's and we're forcing him to crack open one of those bottles of single malt he has stashed in the closet and we'll hoist a toast in the desert sky to Ernie.

I doubt I'll be macking down on chops and swilling scotch with a full set of teeth at 84.
