Greeting Faithful Legion(s) (in case more than one person reads this),
I am sorry I haven't written in a while.  "I bet you were thinkin, now why don't he write" (Dances with Wolves).  I have been up to...here....with...everything.  I have been blessed with a life that I just love and adore.  I get the opportunity to do more things than I ever thought I would be able to do, and see more things than my little brain can store.  It's just that unfortunately, it has all happened at once.  In fact, while I am writing this I am planting my garden with my other hand, and calculating how many slices of pizza I am going to have tonight before I break into meat sweats.  Lots to do.
I have been putting on our little status thingy that a big surprise is coming, it actually got here a couple months ago, but we sold out at a couple shows and are re-ordering right now before I unleash it on you.  In case you haven't guessed...than what's wrong with you....you must be the worst guesser...EVER!  I will give you more details in a lil bit.  Let me give you a solid hint, there is a little bit of dancing, and singing, and hoping and praying, and smooching, and likely some pizza (no it's not a Tuesday night at Edko's).  That's enough on that topic for now.
I am a photo-phobe.  I dislike pictures...of me. Pics of other people are fine.  I also like pics of landscape.  Sometimes when i am out running I will take my camera with me and I will see a........boooooring......nevermind.  Anyhoo, I have been using pictures for press stuff that are as old as Alabama, so I figured it was time to bite the bullet.  I went to Nashville for a photo shoot with an awesome photographer named Tony Scarlati (he has a myspace-look him up, tell him I sent you). I did my best to look ten years younger and 20 lbs lighter (but I can only hold my breath for so long).  He made it as painless as possible, but there is only so much you can do when I am the subject (he is not a magician for cryin' out loud). I am glad it is over.  Now I can use these pics until I retire!!
Anyhoo, I will be around more in the next couple months. I am as excited to tell you what is going on as you are to hear it (HA!).  As I look back at the previous paragraphs, I believe the point of this seemingly pointless writing was, that I will be writing with the big unfigure-out-able secret within the next couple of weeks.
Hustle-ingly
