The Dead Season Arrives

December 12,
2008

Wow,
I guess it's been awhile since I last
wrote...the dead season, as i fondly
call it, has rolled into Minnesota.
now, we won't see or talk to
anyone for the next 5 months...that is kind of an
exaggeration...kind
of. people hole up here like chipmunks in the winter,
you see them
leaving home in the mornings and coming back at night and rarely,
if ever,
does anyone really speak to you. it is one of the most
isolated,
and isolating, places to live, especially for a girl from Texas who
really
loves to talk....the loneliness can sometimes get you down. it's the
worst time of the year for me to stay clean and not drink or use. And,
to
that...I have 15 months clean. the longest I've been sober in
well....nearly 20 years....

and,
the very sad thing is that Steve Earle is
probably not going to come back
this way for some
while. It's hard to live with that
knowledge. YouTube is
great, the Cd's
are great...but, right now I could use some
revved up powerful live
music.

Hope
you come back
someday....soon....Steve....
