Being busy does not distress me at all. In fact, I generally enjoy it. And currently I am generally enjoying myself very much. Why are you so busy you may ask? I'm glad you asked.
Because I'm producing and co-hosting a TV Program! I'm also more-or-less the director.
Now doesn't that sound like fun? If you say, "that also sounds like a lot of work," you would be correct.
In addition to preparing for the first program on January 24, which will be broadcast live over the internet, other parts of my life continue moving forward. I am tutoring two evenings a week. (Although last week I did it three evenings--I learned how to do a sudoku puzzle.) This week I had a month meeting on Monday. Sometime this month I'm supposed to speak to a local club at their monthly meeting, but they didn't confirm the date with me so I'm not sure which Thursday morning it is (I have inquired since I found out at last night's meeting that I AM their speaker this month).
Except for staff meeting lunch today, I have spent all my lunches working at my desk. I have taken my little bit of spare time to read my friend's blogs so I can keep up on their lives, not to update mine. But tonight I thought I'd take a couple of minutes to do just that.
And that's all for now folks!

Alive and Well
No I'm not dead. Yes I'm doing fine. Yes I've had a busy December. Yes I had a great Christmas & New Year's vacation. No I'm not going to try to fill you in on ever detail of my life since I last blogged. Yes I'm going to give you a summary and some pictures. Any more questions?
The theme of my Christmas outings this year can be summarized in two words: "The Messiah." This is a concert we went to in Bremerton. It was VERY well done. Standing in the center front row (holding her book very straight) is our very musically talented and gorgeous voiced friend who participated. I attended this concert with my sister and good friend KD.
Next I attended a "The Messiah" sing-along. I had never head of such a thing before! It was tons of fun. I found out about it the day before and hope to attend again next year. If I had had more warning I could have invited some friends along. As it was, I took along the 13 year old I have been tutoring. It was very educational.
For Christmas we went to Grandma's house. This is the best picture ever, because they have torn down all the houses around her house getting ready to put a parking lot there for the Bible school next door. She gets to keep the house till she dies, so she has the biggest yard in town for the rest of her life.
When Grandma opened up her Christmas present (a portable DVD player) she wasn't sure what it was. She was a bit uncertain about it until we showed her how it could play picture slideshows and DVD messages from her family. She can keep it handy next to her bed and it is light enough for her to hold easily. She's pretty alert for 97.5 years old!
And last but not least, here's the small portion of Grandma's family that was there for our official "Christmas." I don't have a group photo of the additional family that showed up later on for a nice visit (sorry Steve & crew--but we were delighted to have you there).
We were very grateful to the Lord for helping the car to run well all during the trip (about 800 miles each way) and for the good roads (very little snow and ice on travel days). We enjoyed our visit and it was one of the most relaxing Christmas vacations we have ever taken.
