I'm trying out a new band. Answered a "cellist needed" ad on Craigslist. I like their sound. http://prometheusunbound-ensemble.com/index.html I think they might be a bunch of tree-hugging music-hippies, so I should fit in okay.

Not the Acousticats, but hey - who else is?

I have decided to be more active in my community,
so I have joined my local Neighborhood Association.

The West Bench Neighborhood Association encompassas about 5200 housholds in West Boise. I dropped in an a meeting a couple weeks ago and.. well.. I guess yo uknow how these things can go.... I am the new webmaster for the WBNA. or should I say the first webmaster as they didn't yet have a web presence. So I am building it. I have purchaced the domain and set up hosting . created a google account for it's maps and calendars. I installed a wordpress content management system, and the same mailing list system I implimented for the band.

For those that haven't heard yet, I had a bit of a scare Monday night.
I was at work when I started having some chest pains, pressure, shortness of breath, and dizziness. Told my boss I think I'd better get to the doc. 10 minutes later the EMT's were working me over. ( those guys REALLY need to work on their IV skills) anyway, I was transported to Kootenai medical where they proceeded to poke and prod me. Over the course of the day they ran tests, x-rays, ekg, ecg, and a whole bunch of other alphabet tests. (I'll be slightly radioactive for awhile). They ran a stress test, basically the works.
I am fine. The doc gave me a clean bill of health, no blockages.... nothing wrong with my heart. He said I have the heart of a 50 year old NON-smoker. Blood pressure and heart rate are most excellent. Lungs are clear as well.
Turns out the Prilosec OTC I was taking for my reflux was cutting down the acid production, but not treating the other symptoms. combine that with a little above normal stress, and whala.... a ride to the ER. Doc said to cut down on the caffeine, reduce my stress, get more sleep, all the normal stuff. He also prescribed a better reflux med. So I'll cut my coffee intake down to under a pot a day, I have my boat and bike to work on to relax, and start exercising more.
I didn't want to worry anyone un-necessarily until I had all the facts, but apparently it leaked out somehow. Sorry to those that were worried.
Love you all. ( I don't say that enough to y'all, but know it's true)

Looks fun hu?

Raining and blowing hard in Brooklyn tonight. I watched a skiff that had broke from it's moorings crash into the bridge to Coney Island on the way back to my hotel.

I head home tomorrow for a few days off...then to Rhode Island.
