I'd like to thank the guy to the left here. He sent me a message a few weeks ago that contained some images and when I tried to open one of them, my computer exploded. Well, not in the literal sense, but in the practical sense anyway. When I powered it up again, it wouldn't boot. So I considered my options and decided to 'upgrade' to Windows XP while I was trying to fix the problem. The upgrade allowed me to boot again, but I had to re-install *all* of my software because my computer looked, for all intents and purposes, like a brand new computer. I still have all my data hidden away in subfolders and I can access it, but not like I used to. It was like starting all over again with a new computer. By the way, this isn't Paul's fault at all. Perhaps its the fault of the scanner that took the image, or even of the program I was using to open the image, or maybe even of my computer just deciding to give up the ghost at that moment.

But I'm back up and running and if you are a graduate of Gate of Heaven school, class of 1973, stay tuned as you might see some familiar images appearing in the weblog soon .

I'm also working on a webpage for Jay so that he can direct people to it who want to sample his new CD by downloading a few tracks from it. It will also contain the contact information for anyone who might want to place an order of it from Jay.
