For the record...

...I was proud to be an American long before it was the cool thing to be.

What was and will be

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year's, Felize Cumplianos and all that other good stuff that I've missed!!! So I pretty much failed at this blogging thing towards the last quarter of 2008. You could even say the last two quarters of 2008. I make no promises in this post. In fact, it'll probably be another week or two before I can realistically jump back into things. My computer has failed me. If it is beyone repair, then a new one I must get. Until that happens, posts will be few and far between.

But I can't leave you without giving you a glimpse of what I've been doing. Opera, opera opera! I've introduced tons of newbies to the artform, watched Renee Fleming perform numerous times, met Placido Domingo, saw Patti LuPone go postal on a guy taking pictures at the 2nd to last Gypsy, went to Maine and didn't eat lobster (sorry dad), joined the unemployed, watched John McEnroe lose, and come Monday I will find myself on the sandy beaches of Puerto Rico avoiding anything and everything Obama-inauguration.

So hold tight. I'll get my life back on track after a little irresponsibility in Puerto Rico and the blog will be up and running once the computer sitch has been resolved.

But in the meantime, shoot me an email or something and let me know how you all have been. Or don't.
