I'm afraid I won't be reading here anymore. At some point I may delete my journal here (it's all been imported over there). If you'd like to stay in touch, grab me over on the other side.

I'm slightly nostalgic about LJ, but it's been a very long time since I've really posted, and the only constant in life is change :-}.

I hope everyone who cares has heard about this (I posted on G+ but didn't post here because I was lazy/lame/busy/injured) but there's a Peter Mayer concert this weekend and you should all come. He's an awesome guitarist/folk-singer with a spirtual (but not religious) side. I highly recommend him.

Partially in response to a comment by wolf_grace, I've gone back through my journal and pulled all of my responses to the "five questions" meme together under the "5_questions" tag, in case people new to my journal (i.e. who haven't been reading me since April 2005 :-}) would enjoy going back and reading old entries.
