I am torn on what to write about right now.  Our world is in turmoil: the worst pandemic that we have seen in a century, racial protests, and I have been elected to be the president of the Albuquerque affiliate of NAMI ( the National Alliance on Mental Illness). Part of me wants to return to business as usual when it comes to music, and part of me feels like we should be looking at something pertinent.

I live with an Air Force veteran. My older son is a Marine veteran. Both did tours in the Middle East. Both are reeling from recent news reports. I will admit to being shaken, too. This past weekend was July 4th. Let me just say that loud explosions coming from fireworks are not popular when you are a combat veteran.

I recently found out that my polycystic kidney disease (PKD) has my current kidney function at about 37%. This is going to entail some additional diet and lifestyle changes. I have been steadily losing kidney function for the past few years, at about 10% per year. Within the next two years, I will probably be on the transplant list. If you have any questions about PKD, put them in the comments below, and I will get back to you.
​
I think that I’m going to take a month off from writing blogs. I enjoy writing, and I hope that someone out there enjoys reading what I write. I just need some time to adjust to things. I will keep posting music on my Minnich Music FaceBook page this week, so be sure to check those out. These are pivotal times we are living in. Be safe.
 
Until next month!
