<p>Greetings from the road!</p>
<p>I just spent most of the past four weeks out in Slab City, CA. &nbsp;It's one of those places that is hard to explain if you've never been there. &nbsp;A friend of mine recently told someone, "If you're judgmental you won't like it."</p>
<p>It's true. &nbsp;It's a place where everyone is welcome. &nbsp;Lots of people chose to be there because they don't "fit in" to regular society. &nbsp;There is a strangely deep beauty held in the chaos of uncertainty and spontaneity that becomes a daily routine. &nbsp;Everyone…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/blog/blog/6051711/slab-city-and-beyond">Read more</a></span></div>

<p>Greetings from Arlington, Texas!</p>
<p>I've been on the road for 11 days now and all is well. &nbsp;I'm happy to say the van has been running smooth, and the miles have been easy. &nbsp;</p>
<p>I stopped to jam with my friends in Knoxville, spent a night with the folks at the Auburn Guitar Shoppe in Alabama, and cruised on toward Houston. &nbsp;Here's a picture from my show at the Last Concert Cafe...</p>

<p>Greetings from northwest Ohio. Here's what's happening...&nbsp;</p>
<p>After a couple lovely gatherings on Christmas eve and day,&nbsp;my grandma died unexpectedly on December 26th. Grandma Bonnie was 82, hadn't been to a doctor in over 30 years, lived on Pepsi and Misty Menthol Cigarettes, and died peacefully in her sleep.&nbsp; She was stubborn, crotchety, and she loved her family. &nbsp;Grandma's home was headquarters for all the holidays and cousin shenanigans of my youth. &nbsp;It was a place you could just show up without calling…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/blog/blog/6051708/on-being-where-i-am">Read more</a></span></div>

<p>Well folks the CD finally arrived! &nbsp;I know I've said it before, but this whole process has been such an act of love. &nbsp;The support I received through the Kickstarter campaign, the connections I made in the studio, and the songs themselves are such blessings. &nbsp;Now as I deliver the pre-sold CDs to the early supporters I'm feeling all of that love again. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Well the calendar just flipped again...&nbsp;</p>
<p>The past month has been full! &nbsp;I realized that I've been busy. &nbsp;Maybe too busy. &nbsp;I've been working at Blue Eagle, finishing the album, writing new songs, and booking a release tour. &nbsp;As I was driving out to camp to teach a few environmental education classes two weeks ago I thought, "Why did I say I could work these 2 days? &nbsp;I'm too busy for this."
