Finally a new post!
I must appologize to all my readers, for not posting anything new lately. I know it is dreadfully boring to see the same postings over and over. I do want to say 'thank you' to all my faithful readers for continuing to check back each week. To my newest blog follower in Houston: Welcome! AND to my wonderful long time blog followers in Austin, Michigan, California, Georgia, North Carolina, etc.: You guys rock!
As you all know, my favorite composer is Loren DiGiorgi. His music is beautiful and he loves to share it with everyone (as do I). Loren has made a YouTube video of his song "Stage 4". The song itself is very touching and the video suits the song quite well. I am sure you will enjoy it, so please take a moment to watch. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bX1clj659F8
Now for another story:
A few weeks ago I (and my son) had the opportunity to attend a writers workshop that was hosted by Wizard Academy. I took vacaction from work, drove the family many hours down to Austin Texas, and checked into our room at the academy. We were thrilled about the young writers class. The evening before the class was to start, my son and I met Peter Nevland (who was leading this class) along with a few of the other attendees. Not sure how to take the comment, but Peter had already pointed me out as "the troublemaker" of the group (by which I hope he meant in a "lovably fun" sort of way). Peter is a funny, engergetic and full of life kind of guy. By the time my son and I retired to our room, needless to say, we were both even more excited about taking his class.
Later that night, I woke with a horrid illness (to put it mildly); then spent the next few hours in complete misery. I will not go into details for fear that I would probably lose a few readers, but whatever bug I had was worse than the flu. Sadly we missed the class. My son was a great sport about it all and he said there would be other classes we could take together. (He's such an optimist.)
If somehow by chance Peter Nevland ever reads this blog, I wanted to say that my son and I were really looking forward to his teachings. Hopefully we will be able to take one of his classes in the near future. Also, I wanted to say thanks to my Uncle Roy and Aunt Pennie for giving us the opportunity to attend the Wizard Academy.
If any of you have never visited the Wizard Academy website (shame on you) here is a link. https://wizardacademy.org/scripts/default.asp I encourage you to soak up the ambiance. If you are curious about Peter Nevland, here is a link to his website (which will take you to his other websites). He's a fascinating individual. http://www.peternevland.com/ ENJOY!!! :)

Sounds like you had that Pig Flu, which is great news because that means now you're immunized!
