BRIEF UPDATES ITEM ONE Still haven't gotten around to seeing Bulletproof Monk. Procrastination, I guess. ITEM TWO Last weekend was the Easter season, and it always makes me think of ex-girlfriends. There is in fact no direct connection between Easter and any ex.

I'd re-establish contact, but I'm afraid to tell him that I really haven't been keeping up with my horn. Playing jazz is that one dream of mine that slipped away.
