WELCOME TO MY WORLD

It's the new year and nearly 6 months since my last post. I would apologize but the words are empty. The first two lines of my last entry sums up very well why I keep a blog and unfortunately, the conditions to provide the tales and inspiration to others have not found...

Land life woes have certainly taken their toll. I've wanted to write so many different times, but I like to write about exciting and interesting things to inspire others, not gain pity or become depressed.

In order to survive, it's been back to the orchestra circuit a...

Not in real life sillies....

Still no permanent address for mailing purposes. 

But, I've officially moved my blogging from http://lustfullywandering.blogspot.com here to PlanetRonda.com!

Hurray! Excuse for a party!!

If you enjoy reading what I've written so far here on Pla...

This blog entry might be more interesting if I was eluding to a symbolic life lesson, but I'm not. My car battery just died; plain and simple.

Well,....
