Enhancing your artistic career and healthy life
Robert – Belly Dancing
May 12, 2012. Weight = 198 pounds Three weeks at the same weight and at this point I don’t feel like I’m replacing fat with muscle! Probably eating too much as I seem to be more active than ever. Happened when I was weight lifting in college and again around the turn of the century. […]

Joel – Gigs 3 , Voice 0.7
May 4, 2012
Well, Saturday’s party made some money for the “Country!” band, and the 2nd open stage made additional contacts for Amy & me. Tonight’s Moose Lodge gig, the 3rd performance in 7 days, will either establish a place we can eventually gain a residency, or give us some money for a kind of “new start” on […]

Robert – Bicycle Friendly
May 4, 2012
April 29, 2012. Weight = 198 pounds Again, it seems like I’ve been unable to get the needle to move down, and the change in my body over the past few months has been so gradual I cannot mark it in the mirror, but my clothing still tells the tale. A 3-button coat that was […]

Robert – Trek Trax
April 25, 2012
April 22, 2012. Weight unknown (I’m in Atlanta). I’ve been looking for inspiration to get the last 20 pounds off – and I found it!!! Have to be honest – I love looking good and this weekend in Atlanta at Trek Trax I felt like a king. There were probably more pictures taken of me […]

Robert – New Goal
April 20, 2012
April 15, 2012. 195 pounds. I have decided to change my goal in light of what my body is doing. Last time I dropped the weight I was using the Atkins diet and my primary exercise was walking. I got down to 170 pounds and a 28″ waist. I’m currently putting on my 30″ pants […]

Joel – Parker’s First Lesson
April 11, 2012
Amy’s daughter Parker is getting to come over tomorrow (Thu) night for her very first drum lesson. Only 4 yrs old, she has a natural sense of rhythm that will serve her well & a natural like for the drums that make her a promising (and my youngest by far) music student. It’s good thing […]

Robert – Mothballs – –
April 11, 2012
April 8, 2012. 196 pounds. I just took six suits out of mothballs, my favorite suit among them – a black 3-button Armani. I tried these suits on a month ago, when my weight was the same as it is now and they did not fit. Now they do – though tight. So it appears […]

Joel – Year in Review
April 4, 2012
April 1 – The Year In Review This will be a lot longer than usual, as it’s a summary of the first year of my two-year attempt to make enough money (or at least show definite progress and continued positive trajectory) to keep being a full-time musician. I should asterisk that, but the way I […]
