Got a few inquiries wondering where I’ve been hiding (or in one case, what “they” did to me) . . . first of all, thank you for your interest and concern.

The short answer is that the day job has had me out of town and crazy busy, so haven’t had as much time as I’d have liked to devote to non-day-job endeavors, All is Yar being chief among them (with USC football taking a major hit too — thank goodness for Tivo and most especially for ND fumbling on the 1-yd line).

That said, I was able to make it to last Friday’s LA Phil concert, and have been piecing together my thoughts while on planes and trains and in hotel rooms.  Now that I have a  little time to breathe, I hope to have a post  up later today on my $.02 regarding that night.

This week, I happen to be in New York and the Tri-State Area (no, silly, not the “Tri-State Area” near Danville — but I know some of you were thinking it).  I hope to be able to partake in some local culture and sub-culture — let’s pray that the schedule permits.

Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming . . .
