I hate mud. I don't like in on my face or on my feet. Horses + rain = Mud!!!!
I have a long day taping a TV spot in Philly. It is for their Tree lighting. I will posat the air date when I know it.
I should find out today.
I still can't shake the lingering feeling of the start of a cold. I've had it for several days now. At the moment I don't feel so hot so this should be a "fun" day. On top of it I don't like the weather. I don't like doing barn chores in the rain. I like looking out at the cold fall rain while sitting by my fire sipping something toasty.
I'm getting old.....
I have relatives coming from Austria that will be staying with me for two weeks. Two weeks. Did I say two weeks? They are my second cousins. In other words, children of the people who I consider to be my real cousins. (I've a feeling I should have used "whom" but it's too muddy outside to use the word "whom" )
The four that are coming are all mid twentys. They all smoke non-stop and when they get off the plain and I inform them that there will be no smoking in my house....that should provide some entertainment for the next hour. :)
They all speak English, thank god, so I won't have to strain my brain with my 5 year old child level German.
Okay, I've stalled long enough. I have to get tready to leave for the TV shoot. Philly, here I come, muddy shoes and all!

Sorry about the double Blender Blog. I didn't think the first one worked. Oh well, it was better anyway.:)
I am still looking for a home for Shadow. I posted again on the off-topic threads. Still trying to get him to the ranch in Texas but the hurricane displaced so many horses that they are being asked to house them and I totally understand that and would do the same.
I need to find him a home before winter though so if any of you who also inquired about him are still intersted let me know. Hopefully we can get him settled before it snows.
I think I'm fighting a cold. It keeps threatening and has been since sunday night. Had me worried about the Blender show but it didn't effect me too much that night. I hope I can shake it.
You know that feeling when you have too much to do in one day that you end up getting none of it done? That's what I feel like today. The list is too long so you end up doing the least important thing on it.

It's the day after the showcase and I am home and sleepy and pretty happy.
As always, I am happy to be on the other side of something I have been stressing about. That moment when I get to slip into bed, pull the covers up to my chin and exhale is heavenly.
It went really well and I want to thank evryone who showed up for the amazing energy in the room.
Without that energy there is nothing.
There were 45 people from Verve records there so it was an important that the show went well.
The band really came through. They are all so incredible and it feels great to hear it all really coming together in such a short period of time.
Thanks for the Standing O on WAITING FOR THE FALL. Means the world to me.
It's a clear, sunny, perfect fall day. I wish I had the energy to do some yard work. But I feel a bit drained and all I want to do is sip something hot and snuggle in a sweater on a comfy couch.
It's been a busy month. I think I've earned a lazy snuggle.
Hi Everyone,
I've been really busy the last 4 weeks - so much traveling and a whole lot of shows. Not much time at home to relax and recharge, but I am almost through the stressful part. As soon as the Showcase is over I will breathe normally again.
I'm nervous as usual so I'm fighting the urge to put my head in the sand and hide.
The CD is finally out. I can hardly believe it after all we went through. I’m so grateful for the wonderful response that we have been receiving. I said it was a good ‘road trip’ CD and some of you are finding that out. We are doing some press now but the main AC radio promotion won’t happen until after the Holidays. It makes no sense to push it now when Christmas music pretty much wipes out everything else from November through December.
I've been performing a lot of Symphony dates lately and it has been fun to hear that big lush sound again. Marvin Hamlish is always a blast to work with. The guy knows how to entertain an audience. He also knows where all the best restaurants are!
Last night we performed with the New Jersey Symphony and John Oddo conducted the whole night. He was wonderful. It was great to hear his arrangements.
I also enjoyed the fact that it is close to home and that I got to crawl into my own bed at 12:30am instead of the hotel rooms I have been imprisoned in for so much of the last month. There were no good movies to watch!!
I was invited to see Louis Black on his last night at Town Hall. He was so great as always and it was really interesting to see a show like that during a time of such economic meltdown and political campaigning. The energy in the room was though the roof.
We are living in a strange time. No doubt about that. It’s frightening and fascinating at the same time.
