Hi everyone. I'm writing to you today, a little after 12PM, updating this site and working on the new one I've designed as well that should be online next month. I'm also working on a MySpace page as well. I'm going to launch several things at once, which has taken a bit of time to put together, but it will be worth it. Until then, there's a new Sound Off Column on line for you to read.

Finally unpacked and got almost everything where I want it in the house. I also planted some new plants in the backyard: pomegranate (which are great), mango, starfruit, grapes, tomato, ackee (Jamaican), lichee (Asian), leaf of life, basil, oregano, parsley, cactus and rose bushes.

I got a couple more fish for the tank, 4 more to be exact. Got a couple bulbs as well that sprout into plants to go with the, um, little plastic tree in the tank (wonder if the fish think the plastic tree is real - they could be blondes and think so, you never know).

ARTIST OF THE WEEK

The artist of the week is Israel And The New Breed. I love their music. It's great to hear good live music, even if it is on record. It has a great effect when done properly, as they have done. They have a great sound and a great project. Israel is out of Houston and leads the choir and band at Joel Osteen's wonderful Lakewood Church. I have taken a liking to the songs "Your Latter Will Be Greater," "Friend" and Nothing Else Matters."
