Excuses

Yeah, yeah. I know. Start the blog up again and then only a few months later can't even manage to eke out a post every couple weeks--and, really, this won't count either.

3. There is this thing called work that happens most days. Sheesh!
4. The Artist and The Engineer are both taking pretty serious piano lessons requiring about an hour of parental prodding patient encouragement.
5. Even if I had some new music hanging around, I am not Robin Hilton and I have to actually listen to an album more than once to form an opinion about it.
6. I started to think about new music, but got lost at AccuJazz.
7. The fear of not finishing the family room before Thanksgiving (we will and there will be Bose surround sound people).
8. Did I mention I have an actual job?
9. Wobs keeps distracting me.
10. I spent the last month watching my dear Tigers melt down rather than blogging.
