After a protracted hiatus I am coming back to the blogsphere with some new plans and new work... ANYTHING prior to this post is old and anything after it is new...

I wish I could think of a great uplifting quote here - maybe something from Werner Herzog or the like... Strangely what springs to mind is SAM JAFFE as Ginga Din... I'm not sure if Jim Croce's interpretation of Kipling's classic text is true genius of sheer madness - but it's my creative watershed - so I will let you decide...
