Wow, I have not posted any updates for a very long time!  I guess it is because so much has been going on outside of band related stuff.  Back in March of this year, we had a family tragedy.  My brother-in-law took his own life. Needless to say, that event had a major impact on all of us. Not long after that, I suffered a heart attack.  I had to get a stent put in. Now I'm on all sorts of meds and have to go through a bunch of cardio rehab a couple times a week. There is a bright side though. I feel a lot better, have been eating better and have lost some weight. If I can keep this up, I should be in much better overall shape as well as improve my health quite a bit.  Another bright spot is that this has lit a spark to pursue more of the old left-over riffs and try to turn them into songs. As I look back through old material, old demo tapes and stuff I saved on my computer, I'm finding out that there was even more left-over stuff that should and could have been turned into songs. On top of all of that, I've been working again with the original Scare Tactics bass player Tim!  It's been great to jam with him again and I look forward to seeing where this takes us.  Drummer Lee has been coming over again as well.  Who knows where it goes but for now, it's good to be jamming again!
