Here's to all music lovers out there. Woodstock 1969 ’s best kept secret is finally out. Hail to the Flower Power Generation! Peace. Note: My apologies to the great Jimi Hendrix .

I just got back from sickbay where I missed a lot of workdays that only leads to a lot of bills to pay. It’s the flu season here my friends and this is the first time in years that I have been KO’d by the bug. Yeah, I had a flu of the very virulent kind that had my body reeling from its onslaught for more than a week now. Times like these could make you stop and ponder for it only mean one thing---- that my days of invincibility are over. And I am still human after all… I am writing this stuff while in the comforts of my bedroom (where else?) while lying down on my bed with my head propped up by two giant pillows to guard against straining my neck while the beautiful arias of Andrea Bocelli soaring in the background that are lulling me to sleep- talk err in this case sleep- type every now and then, a sacrifice on my part so that I could update my often neglected blog.
