Hey Grant, hows it going over there in D.C.? Its been a while since i've talked to you, looks like your playing out again? I've been working on my music a lot lately and hopefully may have a song or two up soon... I've got about a million guitars now and keyboards and computer recording equipment so I figure I better do something productive with it. Haha

Hi Grant - Yes school is winding down. I am on my last year at Santa Clara University and then I am going on to get my CA Teaching Credentials. Hopefully in the near future I will be a Kindergarten teacher.

Sorry to hear about the lack of veggie options in DC. Have you connected with the Vegetarian Society in DC? They serve up a heckuva Thanksgiving feast, all vegan of course. The club I work for, Linnaea's Cafe, has all-veggie lunches -- today I had a Curried Cabbage roll and Cream of Cauliflour soup.

Hi Grant. I hope things are great in Washington D.C.! It was so nice to hear from you, I think about you all the time when I try and figure out new songs! I am still working on the guitar, but no song has been as much fun as Tesla "Love Song"!! : )
