the winter of my discontent
I've had a difficult couple of months—physically and professionally. Generally I'm a fairly happy camper, and life goes on more or less smoothly. I know lots of people and places have much more difficult times than I, so griping is little more than selfishness. But I'm gonna do it anyway.
Okay, no I'm not. It just seems too small and pointless. Suffice it to say that I was turned down for a promotion at work, turned down in a senseless way that feels like the old music business rejections all over again. Then I had hernia surgery on 8 February, and I have yet to recover. Through it all I've been terrifically busy everywhere—at Honors House, in the Department of Literature and Language, at home, at church. I've been on the road not feeling well in Gatlinburg, Philadelphia and Charleston.
More later.

Dang dude...you can gripe a little! Sorry about all the stuff and hope it all gets a bit better for you in the coming days.
Hi Michael,
So sorry to hear about your troubles. I hope you soon feel better.

As a friend of mine is fond of saying " Would you like some cheese with that whine?". Seriously, sorry to hear the recovery hasn't been as smooth and short as it could have been, and hope all is well with you and family otherwise. Sometimes the paths we choose for ourselves are not the road we are supposed to walk. Let your soul find its joy and bask in it. Worry not about the roads not taken, for there is only bitterness and regret to harvest there. Life is good, never forget for a moment, cause the moment is all there is. We love you and are thinking of you. Namaste, Jim
Your still and always will be number 1 in my book Michael.
Feel better

Anybody who can write songs like "The Street I Live On," "Thunder And Lightning," and "Dark Corners" shouldn't be down on himself. I'm a former music student of Gene Ford who had the privilege of seeing the Michael Cody Band perform in Nashville over 20 years ago. To this day you guys are the best unsigned band I ever saw and one of the best bands period. For what it's worth, I still play your album weekly. I literally wore out TEN cassette tapes I bought from Gene years ago and finally tracked down Mark Chesshir who graciously gave me a CD copy from the master tape. So, chin up...you're a friggin' musical genius.
