Thanks.  yeppers  I'm consciously trying to do this.  To channel my efforts into something that brings me joy and personal reward, selfish that it is. 

It's not easy to maintain the mood required, but one good riff is all it takes sometimes.  It will be my salvation as I struggle through all of this.


I did put up my long ago done but unlaunched Love Bomb for Triskele for a digital download in the mixtape thread the other day but took it down during all the flame wars of the past several days.  I could put it back up if anyone is interested.
