Actually I saw Sydney a few weeks ago (pre-funk), and wrote the review in early June. While I haven't seen an MP since, I did finally get my promised "date" this weekend (review is coming to the SP board).
Thanks for the tips and encouragement, Shades. Still not sure I'm in the right mind-frame, but I might start "testing the waters" to see if it can be FUN again....
Happy Thumping!
