My How the Time Flies

Alright, time to write in this thing before a whole two months go by (again).

A good many of the reasons that I haven't been writing lately is simply that a whole lot has been going on. Here's a quick re-cap for those who've been wondering.

Shortly after my last post, I drove down to South Carolina for my Music Fraternity's annual National Convention. It was an absolutely amazing time that included some wonderful music, catching up with some fantastic old friends--oh, and also being elected National President of the Fraternity. It's a great honor, and I hope to make the Fraternity proud.

Shortly after that trip, my boss offered me a full-time position at my office. Up until then I was technically a freelancer, meaning I was paid hourly and didn't receive any benefits. Now I'm an official employee, with business cards and health-care, and all. An apartment, a job--I'm practically a real person.

Then there were a slew of friends' music recitals, and folks visiting the city, and catch-up dinners.

Then that good friend who came out to interview at my office starting working with me. They chose me, of all people, to train him. It's fantastic to have a familiar face around, and while I know he's still a bit nervous about things, I know it's working out wonderfully. (I hope you're reading this....)

Next up was my house-warming party, and only seven weeks after I moved in to the new place. Good times all around. And finally, some more outings with old friends, and even seeing one up on stage at a comedy club. It's good to say positively that we laughed at her, none of us ever expected her to take up comedy as a career.

I guess that about wraps things up. I'll have to go into more detail later....and that means getting in the habit of writing more. We'll see if it actually happens.
