Fallin’ Back …

Nothing is better than the smell of fall in the air and an extra hour of sleep.  If you haven’t done so already we turned back the clocks last night.  I can’t tell you how valuable an extra hour of time is for me.  It seems that I just keep getting pulled in so many different directions .. that there just isn’t time for myself.  Lets just say it’s no fun being a grown up.

Last month was pretty exciting .. had a lot going on.  Once again this year, I had a run of shows at the Naper Settlement.  Of course working outside proved to be challenging but, I came prepared this time.  The first night it was a constant drizzle and the second night was cold.  I still couldn’t believe the number of people that come out for their “All Hallows Eve” event.  The numbers were up despite the weather.

I did make some time for a bit of fun and we headed up to Milwaukee the other night to see my friend David Seebach’s show.   My brother Jeff, Valerie and Carol made the journey.  The Friday evening traffic threw my timing off a little bit but, we made it in just as the show started.  A quick stop at Steak ‘n Shake made the night complete.

Tonight we’re trying something new, a dinner and show package at the Lincoln Inn Batavia.  My good friend Ken Mate will be sharing the bill and hopefully I’ll see some of my friends there.  Details are on the home page of my site.

Next week .. I’ve got to bring Rex to the dentist.  I’m a little nervous about all that but, he’s got a chipped fang that needs to be looked at.  I’ll feel better once that is all taken care of.  I’ve got a couple of gigs and then .. we’re going to see KISS in Chicago on Friday.  We’ve got some decent seats so it should be very cool.  If you haven’t heard, their new album “Sonic Boom” came out last month.  I suggest you get your copy and turn it up!

I guess that’s about it for now,  time to run once again …
