But just in case you can't see the wood for the trees, thought I'd take the time to remind you guys that there is a lot unnecessary suffering going on over there, probably going to get a lot worse before it gets any better, due to lack of insurance, underinsurance, and problems getting paid even when you do have the right insurance.The Cover America Tour is a great project that puts some human faces on ...

As one can tell from scrolling through the sparse entries over the past 6 weeks, I’ve been laying low.

Plus I’ve been working on a couple of other projects, one that I hope to reveal in the next 3-6 months. I think that I’ve pretty much recovered from the 2nd degree burn that I received from the media spotlight. “Painful, but probably not fatal,” I was told by a PR person.
