DIVORCE Ron & Sarah Style


hello folks! i hope all is well with you all. beyond sad but true that Sarah is leaving. we're getting a divorce. irreconcilable differences. wounded heart but fortunately i'm healthier happier and stronger than ever so wounded heart will heal quickly. divorce will be friendly fair. Sarah and I have agreed to continue to work together some. Sarah is an amazing woman person. best i've ever been with or known. i will love her and support her work always. i will always only have good things to say about her.

Sarah will be opening her own website within the month. I'll keep this one since I've had it for over a decade. Sarah has agreed to be www.tappingmyownphone.com webmaster. She will also continue to do graphics and other production work for all our titles. if you're interested in Sarah doing graphics/production work for you, recording or performing, email me and I'll pass the word to her.

Sarah will move to her own apartment in week or two. I have decided to not have a phone. to contact me please email ron@tappingmyownphone.com or write me at Ron Whitehead, 1520 Cherokee Road #10, Louisville, Kentucky 40205.

Ron Whitehead the wanderer is back on the road. light as a feather, regardless of the weather. have a feeling i'm either gonna die or my creative work gonna explode like never before. yesterday broke new Ron pushups setups curls record: 400 each. crazy. in past six weeks got my weight down from 180 to 154. 155 to 160 has been my adult years norm. plus in past six weeks got my body fat down from 20% to 16%. 15% is perfect for my age height weight. have one percent to go.

your ancient friend
Ron
