evenin’ ya’ll…

There hasn’t been much going on around here. I’ve been pretty busy with work and haven’t had much time to write blog entries or anything else for that matter. I wrote up a couple of cd reviews and posted them to a mailing list I’m on. They will probably make their way onto the staggercat.com website sooner or later. Again… haven’t had a lot of time to focus on working on that either. Lack of time and lack of interest from other has kind of delayed it a bit. It’s not a whole lot of fun to be the only person posting stuff…

Anyway… Things in Grand Rapids are ok. We finally bought a digital camera to replace the one that broke in August. Expect that new pictures will make their way to the site soon. We’ve just been taking snapshots around the house (of the dog and Clare mostly). It’s been more than a few months since we’ve been able to chronicle our lives. Hopefully, we haven’t lost any of you good folks who use this site as a vector into our world (sickos).

Well… it’s time for me to get back to my music listening and attempting to write something. I’ve been working on a piece since last year (for Char) that I hope breaks my several years of virtual writer’s block. I’m starting to feel more creative… sometimes it just takes a little time to come back. I’m really excited about where the world is headed right now. In six months, who knows? But for right now, I feel important again professionally, and there’s a lot to be said for that, even if I’m skeptical of it. Self-confidence is self-reflecting, but only in so much as the people you work for are willing to reflect. It’s impossible to maintain self-confidence in the type of environment I was in before and it’s not a wonder why my self-confidence in all areas of my life was at an all-time low. I’m building back up. It’s not going to take long. Failure is not an option.

Life is good and if the gods are smiling, bonuses will be in abundance this year. We can always cross our fingers, eh?

Peace and hair grease ya muthas.
