Sometimes in the mad dash of creation I forget to thank the people I have working for me. I'd like to tell you about this group of dedicated folks who have been with me for a while now.
PMK - Pete Knipschield. Mac guru, archivist galore, and Jedi with a dedication to my work. Actually thanked in the credits of the Michael Jordan book FOR LOVE OF THE GAME. Once in a while I'll hear from Pete who says, "You know I've got stuff saved from 11 years ago when we met?" And he does. I was working for Col. Olivi
and the early "project" stuff. In about every conversation we have, in person (which is rare nowadays) or on the phone we make some reference to Star Wars. I take Pete for granted because what he does is wizardry. Pete's been saving my work from the before-mentioned crash. Look slike my docs will be saved (including my 30 pages of the next novel...). So thanks, Pete. I'm sure there's more in the future...
ART - Art Turner, guitarist. Art was a great collaborator in making the songs of THE EYEWITNESS. His knowledge of music really came to the fore when I'd say "this sounds like one from..." and he'd hook up his yellow Gibson and crank out an old school heavy metal riff and away we'd go. I've known him for years.
LaVERNE - LaVerne J. Pink, guitarist. LaVerne's power is in creating unique solos and arranging. This bluesman from Madison, Wisconsin does it all. i can't wait to check out the latest incarnation of his band...

2007 begins to wind down
I don't have anything specific to blog about. I should blog just so you know I'm not dead. Sometimes things are blah...
Things are blah because my computer is still down and continues to test my patience, despite the hard work of the mighty Mac Yoda, Pete Knipschield. If I lose data - many things - it's one of those lessons learned.
The Green Bay Packers won as expected and clinched the North Division yesterday. Good. I picked them to go 10-6, so they've exceeded my expectations. But there's more ball to play, especially the playoffs.
My dog began wearing snow boots - and as he waddles with them, trying to kick them off, he reminds me of Charlie Chaplin.
I have some time off at the end of December and hope to have the Mac up and running and will see what i can do if I have the opportunity.
Last but not least, I believe the Led Zeppelin reunion show is today. Monday's kind of an odd day to have it. It's been a long time since they did the stroll, and we'll see if they know how to rock and roll.
