New pathway in the garden, dance videos, future clarinet lessons

So… it’s Saturday… time for another blog… As I posted on Monday, for now I’ve put Under My Skin on hiatus. Afterwards, I was starting to think maybe I made a mistake, but oh well. Not enough of a mistake to make me feel like writing a new episode...

Under My Skin podcast now on hiatus… again…

Hey all… so, I skipped doing Under My Skin the last couple weeks and I’m skipping it again this week and honestly, I’ve rewritten the damn thing 4 or 5 times, but it just seems pointless at this time. Here’s an excerpt from what I wrote in the most...
