Back from a Long Hiatus

We're finally into the Christmas season and away from all of the busyness of Advent.  

I have to apologize to all of my regular readers that I have not posted any updates in a very long time.  My schedule has been pretty frantic with dress rehearsals and all kinds of Christmas concerts.  The set I was doing with one ensemble had concerts all over the metro area the weekend before Christmas.

Some of you friends probably also heard that I had what was probably my third grand mal seizure a couple of weeks ago.  While that's not good news, several people witnessed it happening, so I at least now know what it is, where before it was something like a preponderance of the evidence guess.

I was planning on going to Seattle for this week between Christmas and New Year's Day, but because of concerns I have about how the economy may affect me personally, I didn't think it was prudent to go on a major (expensive) vacation.  Besides this, I have some definite savings priorities that have moved up in the list, even though the timing is not good.  

So, this is a time certainly to be cutting back on things, and I'm working to trim my budget even further than I did last year.  I may need to give up several things that I really like.  

Hopefully with a somewhat less hectic schedule in the New Year, I'll be able to make time more for the writing I enjoy so much.

I hope all of you readers had a wonderful Christmas.
