Welcome back, Matthew! How did the wedding go?
Cheers Dave! We had a great day - I never imagined getting married could be such a high. We've just got back from Sri Lanka - and reality is starting to kick in again - but so far so good!
Did you have a good Xmas/New Year?
Sri Lanka! Sounds like a helluva vacation. Glad it went well.
We had a low key but enjoyable holiday season. Unfortunately, now it is several months until we get another holiday off unless we take a vacation, I'm currently envious of anyone who gets some extended time off.

It is an extreme measure. I only get two weeks of vacation and we only have 7 holidays off during the year, the next not being until Memorial Day, which is at the end of May. Since both our families live out of town, that doesn't really leave any time to take to just go off by ourselves and enjoy some time off.

This is a pretty cool video of ELP rehearsing "Karn Evil 9" in the studio.

I'd forgotten about John Secada until I heard a version of this one on holiday by a Sri Lankan covers band who were dressed up in ceremonial military uniforms. It wasn't the finest performance in the world but we got our lighters out anyway....

Ah...okay....Two weeks sounds harsh. Is that just your company - or is that the standard holiday time in the States, Dave?
