Four Days o’ Regular Posting ;-)

Posted June 17, 2005, 8:16 p.m.

As you can see, my ‘regular posting’ got off to an excellent start ;-). I’m not ignoring you (or anyone else, for that matter), I’ve just been quite busy this week. I’ve been working a bit late (to make up for a handful of honeymoon hours that I didn’t have the vacation time to cover) and doing all the post-wedding changes to insurance accounts and so on and etc., forever.

On top of that, we’re going to a wedding this weekend!

I’m expecting/hoping that things will calm down enough by the end of the month that I’ll be able to get back into music, writing, improving the site, and otherwise doing the things I really enjoy but I’ve had so little time to do. We’ll see! I’m going to be buying an M-Audio Keyboard, which might prompt me to fire up GarageBand and use some of this other new recording equipment!
