what the world needs now is a new frank sinatra....

yep, i'm still alive....though some of the folks who sent me holiday cards this year and are still waiting for a reply might think otherwise.

i wish i had something witty to tell you after such a long absence, but i'm afraid i've been running on empty all week....haven't even had time to hit the treadmill in preparation for the april hike.....or orbitz to look for cheap tickets.

so, instead of being witty and inspiring, the best i can do is offer up these musical words of wisdom:

"if i have my time again, i would do it all the same, wouldn't change a single thing, even when i was to blame...."

(or something like that. i know what the lyrics site offered up is waaay off...it'll give me an excuse to dig out the cd when i work out in the morning.)

"you can turn off the sun but i'm still gonna shine"

"transfixed by the inner sound of your promise to be found:
'nothing or no-one will evermake me let you down'"

"nothing's so loud as hearing when we lie
the truth is not kind and you've said neither am i"

"yeah, something called love
well, that's like hypnotising chickens"

my own words by the weekend...i swear.
