A few different family members and friends are dealing with some hard shit right now, mostly of a medical nature.  You know how that goes.  Up and down but always looking for the level ground.  I don't want to go into detail, but I do want them all to know they're in my thoughts and prayers daily.   


SUPERHYPED for the premier of Treme on HBO in a couple hours.  The latest new show from The Wire creators, David Simons and Eric Overmyer, is all about New Orleans and its culture/music in the wake of Katrina.  This is a subject I've been interested in since it all went down five years ago, so I'm looking forward to seeing some familiar faces from Simon's stable of actors over the years, along with new ones like Johnathon Goodman and Steve Zahn.  Here's a teaser:  And RIP to David Mills, a writer/co-producer who worked on Treme, The Wire, NYPD Blue, etc. He died of a brain aneurysm almost two weeks ago.

I am afraid that I very much can relate to that first paragraph. Life's not fair...

Sorry to hear about the family health stuff (you too Mats!). Hope everything is going OK. Our cavalcade of the same just keeps rolling here as well, unfortunately. We've had the Good Vibes Generator set on MAX for a while now, and it's starting to rattle some...

Yeah it's pretty insane in a not so cool way. A close friend had spinal surgery that will hopefully lead to a much more mobility/less pain, so that's a plus. But a closer relation received some frightening news, and I expect to spend a good chunk of my spare time in long white corridors and small sterilized rooms in the coming weeks/months. At least I'm doing pretty good on a personal note. Thanks for the warm wishes. Hope your guys are well and keep on rollin' with the flow.
