My Book? Yes, I'm still working on it. I know it's been nearly 4 years now and it must seem like I'm just making excuses for how long it's taken me, but writing about my own life, my friendships, adventures, loves, music, has taken me on a long, slow inner journey, a process of introspection, looking back and taking stock. The fact that my father passed away two years after I started my book has had much to do with my slow pace. His passing happened less than a year after 9-11, when practically the whole world was tossed into a whirlwind of questioning and soul searching. That and my father's passing set me on a journey that I didn't expect and don't really understand, but I trust the process and know that it's what I must face and embrace. It's been at times painful and I haven't felt the motivation to write as often as I would hope I would. You've probably noticed that my website ramblings haven't been updated as often and I know those too have been affected. Sometimes I drift, sometimes I have much to say. Sometimes it's silliness and may not be worth writing but I do it anyway. Whatever the case, I choose to approach this book in the same way I've recorded all my records; I take whatever time is necessary to do it well. I let it unfold to me and then I shape it the best I can. If I'd hurried my songs you wouldn't like them so much and they wouldn't be a comfort to listen to over the years. It's important to me for my book to be as meaningful, rich, humorous and benevolent as my songs and I am confident that it will be all of those things if I stay committed to it, yet allow it to unfold at a natural pace. To those of you who pre-ordered it, I thank you for your great patience and faith in me. I promise you that you're not forgotten and I believe that you'll be glad I took my time.
