Rusty, I'm at the W. Caldwell library and I'm procrastinating on my book writing. Later, whenever I leave here, I'm going to hopefully stand on the tallest point in Essex County. The high point in the county is near the site of the old sanitarium between N. Caldwell and Cedar Grove. It's altitude is 695 feet. :)
Rusty, I was in Caldwell today. There is a DUNKIN DONUTS across the street from the birthplace of former President Grover Cleveland! How cool is that?!
Here's what I've been up to: I'm a real estate consultant helping home buyers and sellers in Atlantic County. I got married last November and I'm also playing bass at Greentree church.
hey russ..heard your music for the first time (thats a bloody crime, seriously) at daves the other night. couldnt even tell it was you! anyhoo, i liked it alot. =)) just wanted to make sure i told you...
I am honored to be included as part of your circle of friends and to have you in mine. I truly love your work and artistry. I actually had the privilege of engineering you twice in the past. Currently, I am involved with an outreach project, here in Philadelphia, as we are in the process of re-opening a Church which was shut down in a city that truly needs a real ministry. One in which hearts will be touched in a positive way, resulting in lives that are changed forever. Philadelphia has the HIGHEST murder rate in the country right now and it is up to all of us to do something about it. If we can even cut the murder statistics by just ONE, it will be worth all of our hard work. We'd love to have you take part in this effort and ask for you to pray about making an appearance or whatever God will place on your heart. Even if you chose not to participate in-person, we really appreciate your prayers and just helping us spread the word. May God bless you, your family and creative endeavors in a mighty way as you continue to reach out to the multitudes for Him through music.
hey, saw you were online. thanks so much for the wedding tract. it worked out really well! you guys are the best. let's have dinner soon... i'm cooking!
Hey, do you read "Weird NJ" magazine? I just finished a written Q&A interview with them about my Passaic River kayak trip in 2000. I have no idea which issue it will be in.
Rusty, it's great to hear from you. I'm doing alright. I have had lots of ups and downs of late, but good grief, I am just thankful to have God on my side. He's done great things in my life!
Rusty, I plan to have a brand new "Thankful Not To Live In New Jersey" holiday on my web site. It'll probably happen in late April. I'll keep you posted! ;)
