Countdown

Only one full day left before all "H-E-double-hockey-sticks" lets lose. (It's a Canadian expression - but you should be able to figure it out no matter where you're from - but just in case - hockey sticks, when upside down, look like the letter "L" - we also use it in Golf for when you score a seven - but of course, the hockey stick is upside up in that instance. It's "one less than a snowman").

Schedule for the work week for the most part looks like this

Mondays - Da Camera
Tuesdays - two lectures and movie night with the wife (see her post here)
Wednesdays - Church staff meeting and church work day, and University choirs in the afternoon, and hopefully curling league at night.
Thursdays - two lectures and church choir
Fridays - University choirs and "extra" work (i.e. Pro Coro and Scona Chamber Choirs)
Saturdays - various rehearsals
Sundays - Church in the morning, and various rehearsals and concerts throughout the year.

Somewhere in there - I'll blog, and I DO VOW TO BLOG MORE!

On that note, I was pleasantly surprised to hear that my blog post on ChoralBlog about the Apple iPad (published on the day the iPad was released) was referred to in a CBC radio national news broadcast this past weekend. I'm amazed at how the art of news reporting has moved into using the blogesphere - and happy to be a part of it!

All the more reason to get back into the blogging habit

Filling up empty spaces

Quoting myself on January 1st, while looking at my calendar:

"How nice - Aside from my church obligations, It looks like from now until March most of my Friday, Saturday and Sundays are free!"

Three weeks later:

A look at my calendar this weekend, as of 9 AM this morning:

Friday night 7-9:30 Da Camera Men's sectional rehearsal

Saturday Morning 10-12:30 Da Camera Women's sectional rehearsal

Saturday Evening 4-7 PM Rehearsal for Monteverdi concert in February

Sunday afternoon 3 PM - playing Organ at a Hymn festival

Can someone tell me how I went from zero hours to eleven hours of work?

A fate of my own making I suppose.
