have gone on "the diet". I still have health insurance, mind you, I just
wanted to change to a different policy and now I've got to stay with what
I've got for a while. What I'm doing now is more like "my diet" than "a
diet", actually because it's pretty much what was a normal diet for me about
20 years ago and it just sorta evolved naturally when I was just a young
sprouthead.. No red meat.or chicken............just lots of fruit, nuts, raw
veggies and the occasional boiled egg and some cheese now and then.......but
mostly raw foods and juices. I broke out the juicer that had been gathering
dust for many years (though I will buy the more high quality bottled Knudsen
stuff occasionally for convenience). Energy levels way up. I've lost 9
pounds in the last 14 days and I haven't been hungry at all. I had forgotten
how much those heavy greasy foods slowed me down and how crappy they made me
feel. At some point my life got wayyyyy to busy, these kinds of food were
easier and more convenient and I just lost my dietary focus........but
no.....you're not gonna catch me wearin' patchouli.
I figure, to put it in perpective, whipping up a quick and healthy meal is
much easier than reading a &^%$#*&^(!& Roland manual.
;o)Many of us started out like you, DJ. It is sort of addictive. The more
you know, the more you want to know.
Truthfully, I think my indulgence in technology has hurt my playing by
occupying the time I would have spent playing and practicing. My
recordings sound better but I have to punch more than I would like.
Don't even get me started on this newsgoroup...

Well, to put it in perspective another way: sometimes achieving
world peace, winning the Powerball, and being nominated for a
Grammy is easier than reading a Roland manual.
:)Well, he's not going to be checking his e-mail for awhile yet,
I would imagine... he's going to be in the hospital for a week
or two, depending on his early progress.
That's why I was asking if anyone had a phone # - if anyone
knew him well enough to call his house & ask the family, etc.

died about a year ago. I had the essentials backed up but I just loaded
certain things to the new drive because I changed from Win ME to XP. I'm
pretty sure it was on that old drive. I've still got it here and I have been
fishing stuff off of it as needed with a little recovery utility I have..
I'll see if I can scare it up later today.
