Got the GREATEST set of photos from Taike of his son, "little Wolf". They appear to be going fine. The little guy is a Cool DUDE!

As far a Chas goes, he's one of my very favorite people here. Unfortunately, he has decided to not contribute for a while. In spite of a "front" that sometimes appears to be a little confrontational, here is a guy who is articulate, brilliant, has accomplished much in his life and is a valuable source for informed opinions about a wide variety of subjects. We're almost "joined at the hip" when it comes to music style and preferences.

He's a very sensitive person, and took some comments personally. Rather than getting in a traditional "pissing match", he took the high road. He's above getting into details, but I understand his decision.

I miss his contributions.
