Well, the steroids are working.  My voice has definitely improved.  I can sing high notes now.  I have 2 more days of dosages though.  No signs of "roid rage" as of yet...although, I have found myself spontaneously working out in my spare time.  By the end of this tour, I'm gonna be HUGE!!!  And I mean that in a physical way.  My arms are gonna be RIPPED.  But yea....after the Portland show which was canceled, none have been canceled since then.  I'm so sorry Portland!!!  I already know what I'll do for those of you who come to the next show to make up for it....but it's a surprise of course!  And I apologize also to people coming to the shows that I haven't made much of an appearance after the show to sign cds and take pictures.  Because of this laryngitis thing, it's actually harder for me to talk than to sing....and so to avoid talking, I sort of have been spending time alone.  It's so hard for me to not talk, or respond when I'm with other people.  I seem like such a downer, because I'm the only one at the table that doesn't say anything.  Even laughing sort of hurts!  But yea, I just wanted to let you know I haven't gone "snobbish" on you.  I just want to get better as soon as possible!  

The Pacific Northwest run of the tour is over now.  We've gone from mountains, to plains.  We have lots of long drives ahead of us on this tour.  But it's been really fun!  It's been 5 of us in a van.  Today we were listening to Dolly Parton, watched Robot Chicken, I slept for like 6 hours and would wake up every now and then and eat a handful of pizza flavored Combos.

Going to sleep in Boise tonight.
