Hey there.

It's been awhile since you've gotten one of these monthly updates
from me. The first reason is that not a whole lot has been going on.
The second reason is that I've been working hard settling into my new
full-time job. Thanks for being patient while I became a grown-up.

As I write this, I am at work (yes, I'm occasionally required to work
on Saturdays) and I've realized it isn't working on Saturday that's
the problem--it's getting up at 7am that starts to get me down.
Especially now as the morning temperatures dip below freezing and I
find it nearly impossible to coax my poor bare feet out of bed and
onto the cold hard wood floors.

I've got a few shows coming up. I hope you will join me for one or
two or three of them. And perhaps we can have a cup of coffee and play
a game of scrabble and learn more about one another... and together we
can remember to put on socks before we go to bed.

Keep listening.
Love,
Lisa Gatewood
