We’re Back…

Share article:

It was rough going as we started sneezing about an hour out of the gate on Interstate 15 on our way up to interview senor Curtis at the Freedom Cinema Festival, and we’ve been under the weather ever since.

I suppose travelling across the country and up and down mountains isn’t necessarily the best thing for a sloggy headcold and everytime we think we’ve shaken it (to quote Michael Corleone) “they keep pullin’ me back in.”

So with our health way below what it ought to have been after a couple of weeks away from “the job”, and mountains of unanswered Email to climb and Velvet Revolutions to wage, we’ll be starting slowly I guess. But a path is built one stone at a time. And so we begin again. Year number two.

A quick word of thanks to both our friends Fin and Winter Patriot for keeping the joint in such tip-top shape over the last coupla weeks. As much as I was draggin’ ass throughout my travels, at least I was able to rest easy knowing the two of them were fighting the good fight and keeping things in good order here while I was otherwise occupied.

Please be sure to visit both of their excellent blogs regularly. Winter Patriot’s is right here. Fin’s What We Know is right here.

Aside from lending me a hand, I’m hoping they each had enough fun that they’ll consider doing it again in the future if/when I’m pulled away by other projects and/or distractions. Several of which — if some touchstones made at the FCF bear fruit — just may be on the horizon.

But more on all of that, news from Clint Curtis in UT and beyond, and much more to come as we crank up again. Slowly.

NOTE TO MR. FEENEY: Yup, I’m back. Didja miss me?

    Welcome home Brad! Of course we missed you.

    Many, many thanks to Winter Patriot and Fin for taking care of us so expertly. It’s been quite a frolic.

    Slow is best. That makes the changes deeper and more long-lasting. And we can adjust and absorb at every level. So we don’t get the bends.

    Hi guys –

    I saw a couple of those pictures earlier; what a FINE military we do have! They must have been frustrated after seeing how much fun the folks at Abu Ghraib were having and decided to cut loose before they had to leave the big party and come home. At least this is just mud…

    Hi, Brad:

    Welcome home, and here’s to your health!

    Thanks to you and all the others for so many kind words. It’s been an honor guest-blogging here in your absence. Thanks very much for the invite. But thanks even more for coming back! 😉

    Welcome back Brad, and thank you for all your efforts. I hope you will be at 100% soon.

    Thanks as well, to Fin and Winter Patriot for standing in, in Brad’s absense. You both led and engaged us in lively and thoughtful discussions 🙂

    Welcome back Brad. I’d send you some Tennessee Cold Remedy but I’m not sure about the law regarding shipping such substances across state lines – Homeland Security might declare it an incendiary substance and "disappear" me, then who would take care of my animals?

    Rest assured, Tom Feeney didn’t miss you, or Clint Curtis. I’ll bet he’s TOTALLY aware of every move you and Clint make. These are scary, dangerous, people you are working on exposing. Keep up the good fight. We need you!

    Welcome back Brad! Did you try the Jewish penicillin? (Chicken Soup). They say it works wonders.
    I know we are all anxious to hear news of the events with Clint Curtis and what’s moving in the air (including Tom Feeney).
    You’ve collected a fine group of participants here, I feel honored to be among them.

    Bullsh and his cohorts should be shaking in their cowboy boots by now, fretting that there’s some sort of conspiracy afoot that will make it clear to all that Brad is the Messiah, leaving them bereft, with nothing but longing dreams of all that pie in the sky. A resurrection in the Rose Garden on Easter Morn sounds nice to me. Be there or be square, as we used to say!

    Sorry, but you have to keep in mind that the No Such Agency is tracking everything each and every one of us does – oh well, just one more thing that has to be changed…

    Does anyone have information on Feeney’s "town hall meeting," or whatever he called it?
