IT'S been a full month since I last hit my computer keyboard and admittedly, I'm feeling a bit rusty (LOL). It's the longest time I've had the luxury of not having to beat any deadline since I took on the mainstream media for a career.

A full month to reacquaint myself with my dust-covered vinyl collection, yet somehow coming short of dissecting what really comprises Paul Rodgers' overdue rainbow. Had a jigger or two with John Barleycorn and his mighty nut brown bowl. Oh man! Taking my wine makes me feel fine. Had myself a real holiday.
