Goldfish And Clowns

Wow… again.  It’s been a while since I’ve updated my blog.  My bad.

Ah, let’s see what’s happening… more like what isn’t; it’d be a shorter list.  Starting with the workplace: it’s going wacko.  My best friend at the office, a beloved and beautiful sister in the Lord, quit to work closer to home (and to get away from some of the inanity and insanity).  Can’t blame her, but I sure do miss her.

My boss is going in for gallbladder surgery this week, so she’ll be out of commission for a while just as our department is in its raging glory with different critical projects abounding.  She’s one of if not the absolute best boss I’ve ever had, by the way.  So this is a deep concern.

For my part at the office, things are hot and heated.  I’m in the middle of designing the company’s annual report, which is a challenge.  Um… it’s a company annual report.  Not exactly a thrilling read, or for that matter look.  But hey, gotta do what one must in order to pay for the next vacation.  This is in addition to still putting together the company’s new public Web site, a project that might get done sometime before Internet 2.0 is a reality and available to everyone.  Might… sigh…

In brighter news, the new book is rapidly changing from concept to actual work; the first interview is scheduled for this Friday evening.  I’m blown away by the list of people who’ve agreed to tell me their stories.  Still don’t want to name names until the interviews are completed and the writing is well underway, but suffice it to say if you were so much as casually acquainted with alternative Christian music in the ’80s or early ’90s you will recognize so many of the names involved.  It’s a deeply humbling honor to be doing this.

My other “in process” book is also taking shape.  Completely different from the Christian music book, and yet also deeply connected.  No hints, though; the people that need to know are in the know.  Everyone else… why, you’ll find out in due time (okay, there was a hint in there somewhere).

That covers most everything for now.  More later — hopefully not as long of a “later” as it was from the last post to this one!
