My Holiday Weekend

This weekend was awesome. I got the much needed rest I had been looking forward to. I spent four days with my family doing all the things we love to do. There was only one thing that happened that wasn't cool. To be totally honest it really sucked.

Kare and I decided to record some of our new material. We each grabbed a glass of champagne and sat down at the computer. I plugged in the usb cable and started clicking the ok button on all of my expired trail plug ins. I turned the volume up on my Mbox, hummed a few bars and nothing happened. At first I thought I must have done something wrong with the setup, so I double checked everything. I then thought maybe the system needed a reboot. Again no sound went in to the computer what-so-ever. I started messing with all of the nobs and buttons, I was in a full on panic by this point. Not only did I not get the Mbox working, but now it has a horrible noise coming out of the left channel. My Mbox is dead. It has gone the way of so many other electronic devices that I have used frequently. Needless to say I'm very sad. That thing made some great recordings for me over the years. I will miss it tremendously. I now have nothing to record with and no money to replace it. So that is my sob story.

On a brighter note I am almost done with Up High in the Trees, the novel by Kiara Brinkman. I am really enjoying it and will share more when I finish. (I think it will be done by next weekend).

I miss my family and friends that don't live close by. Hi everyone!

Love and Peace,
RJ
