Wrapping up a week's vacation here in the lovely Pacific Northwest. Can you sense the facetiousness dripping from that statement? I think I've seen the sun once *for 20 minutes* the entire week. Ah, well, no matter. My pursuits, save one, didn't require fair weather. The only task prevented by the blustery rain has been peeling the remaining layer of fallen leaves from the grass. Looks like I'm just going to have to pick a day to get into it and suck it up.

But the week was good. I lost a couple of days there to a bit of a migraine, but the other scheduled activities went off as planned. The trip up to Portland with my Corvallis Virgo buddy was great. We spent hours in Ikea, and almost as long in Powell's Bookstore. We brought Ivan with us, ate Thai food, and were able to catch up each others' lives during the drive. I got most of my holiday shopping done. I think there's only one or two things left to hunt down [of course, that will probably multiply between now and the 25th].

The rest of the week, outside of meetings, long distance calls, and the concert this afternoon, I filled with tasks. I made some headway, but I'd like to make a lot more in the next week. I didn't do the recording I had hoped, but that's okay. I think what I really needed was rest and leisure.

I'm beginning to see the film deadline, though hazy in the distance, and I'm setting the tasks that will enable its production for the choir's 20th year. I have begun the transfer of DVC's to VHS tapes for multiple viewing. There are about 50 of them. There will be a few more after the last interviews I'll do this winter. I scrapped the previous storyboarding I had sort of sketched out. And it looks like the 15-minute teaser I have is going to be completely restructured. This all sounds very pro, but it's not; I am an amateur, wading through this for the first time. I can't explain what a charge it gives me, though. I can't wait until I have finished shooting and am finally up to my ears in post-production. I adore pacing every second, every segue. I will have to compose some musical [what NPR calls] "buttons" so as to avoid copyrights, but I'll do that in the studio as needed.

We live in interesting times. Truly, there isn't enough time in a day for me.
