No Facebook

I am without internet at my apartment. I am an employee of the state of Alaska, which as you can guess has blocked the website from accessing at my desk.

sigh.

so it seems I am at a crossroads. I go buy internet or become like the seasonal workers I used to be and go to the Silverbow to choke down 4 dollar bagels every other day in order to reconnect with my social networks via their wifi signal.

I feel pretty out of the loop...

If anyone reads this, I am embarking on my most challenging endeavor yet this year: I am playing bass with the Great Alaska Bluegrass Band this weekend at the Breakwater Restaurant and Hotel. I am extrememly nervous, but those of you who know me well enough have seen me under pressure and coming out ok on the other side.

Cross your fingers that my own will fly up and down the fret board as Jack Cooke's did when he stood behind Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys so many years ago...well, at least I'm hoping I can keep up with the T-GABB boys for 2 nights.

Wish me luck.

Also my folks are coming to visit in a few weeks, and I want to sob uncontrollably just thinking about how good it will be to see family. It will be the best start to summer imaginable!

More soon,
