I'm writing this a bit early today as I'm going out of town later today, so check back tomorrow in case I've added any "stragglers" (especially you who receive it via email).  For those who receive the blog posts via email, I've heard from some that the print is too small. As I have 50+ eyes, I feel your pain!  I have adjusted it, but have not been able to verify how it looks to you all, so send me a message and I'll see what I can do .... and now for the jazz in and around ROC for the next seven days:
