11/7 1:53pm: So, the post election blues seem to be subsiding at least in intensity. It’s apparent that this country is going to have to learn it’s lessons the hard way. The saddest part of all this is that the United States are not very “united”. There is a major split in the way we all perceive what’s going on here.
This concept of Government is very “un-American” and when I recently questioned a dear/Republican friend of mine whom I respect, about the whole “Haliburton” issue, she simply replied: “I don’t care about it.” She told me that this election was all about “morality”.
Somehow the Republican Party has become the party of “morality” and the Democratic Party has become the party of “immorality”. I am what people used to call a Conservative Democrat. I wouldn’t call myself a Liberal by any means, but I certainly wouldn’t call myself immoral and to many people in this country I am now someone lacking in morals.

I personally recommend that the Democratic Party start talking about “tolerance”. I don’t see how this has happened but we seem to be headed to intolerance and I find it frightening. I’m not talking about rationalizing everything and declaring that “anything goes”! Whatever happened to agreeing to disagree? 51% of the people in this country seem to think if you disagree you are immoral, (although I'm hoping most Americans are still comprising the bulk of the political middle ground). A feeling shared by some of the greatest dictators in this world. I think this might be getting a bit freaky.

11/27 8:10am: It’s the day after, the day after Thanksgiving and I am thankful that I can now stop eating! I had actually been fasting for a few days before the holiday. This amazing fast I had first heard about when the magician David Blaine was on the Howard Stern show. He was talking about this cleansing fast “Master Cleanser”. Robin Quivers, (Howard’s sidekick), started the fast primarily because she was having major problems with joint / back pain. As the story goes, after going on a regular program of fasting a portion of each month, she is pain free and 70 pounds lighter. Most impressively, everybody who does this, swears by it… as do I. When I do this I have absolutely no joint pain! You can get some info if you CLICK HERE

I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my friend Sara, her kids and the great Joe Boyle. I graced the table with my mother’s famous Squash Souffle which I woke up early and whipped up. I kept reminding everybody, that just because I’m clean, I make a mean Sqaush Souffle, I teach yoga and I love kids… that doesn’t mean anything! The food and the company were great.

I’m so focused on my current business venture and teaching that I literally have time for nothing else. I’m sure one of these days I’ll date again, but at the moment I’d rather build upon a solid foundation, and I’m sure all else will fall into place. This may be the toughest piece of the puzzle for entrepreneurs. “Normal” people affiliate with organizations/corporations who supply the foundation. Dreamers are best at dreaming and are usually not good at creating from the bottom up. Once a “dreamer” figures out that you can’t build a dream on dreams… watch out, then you’ve got an entrepreneur on your hands. I’ve always really enjoyed business, and rely upon my very grounded business CEO pal Bill Sherman for advice. He gives this project two thumbs up, so I’m good to go! It’s all very exciting and I have complete confidence that the future looks bright. I just want to be able to take care of the people I love and finance a music career. It’s all pretty simple.

I’ve met some wonderful women in the past couple of years and I’ve refined my screening process to the point where I’m hoping I can see “the madness” and continue to stay far away from such. I’m on the right path at the moment. Lots of yoga, and no bullshit/distractions.
