Sorry I've been off board so much.

New day job has me in a headlock -- but I'm staying tough, remaining in the 182-187 pound range depending on recent activity and/or celebrations. (That means I've kept roughly 89 pounds off for over a year now).

Stick in there, Jim -- the swimming will give you a lumbar-friendly way to burn more calories. It keeps my knees happy despite some long-standing issues there.

Great to see you guys, even if only briefly. I'll post a couple things on the other side before I roll. I'll try to be back at least once a week.

Equipment:  Greg Black made John Blount Personal model mouthpiece, Callet Jazz 63xx trumpet --- played at a mediocre comeback level for 30 full minutes per month...
Favorite Maynard Tunes:  Gospel John, all the other ones
