April 2007
Dear readers of the yuleblog,
Sunday ended a very productive three month stretch
of reviewing all the new additions to my personal
Christmas music collection.
In total, around 85 to 87 CDs
were reviewed in a span of 90 days.
I'm very proud of this accomplishment.
As Ringo Starr screamed at the end of the Beatles'
"Helter Skelter" - "I've got blisters on my fingers!"
Not from drumming. From typing.
I'm also extremely behind in my schedule of other
projects and I am exhausted... worn out...
bushed... tired... flat out done.
I'm taking a month off. Maybe six weeks.
Why so long?
I need to recharge the batteries and get some
of those other projects out of the way.
I'll also be watching a few baseball games here:
Not a bad view, huh?
THIS JUST IN: I was slated as the stage manager of an
upcoming local theater production but unfortunately
no one auditioned for a part in an upcoming two man
play about baseball.
I was picked by the director of the show as a
pinch actor, coming off the bench in hopes I'll hit
a home run. I will be trying to memorize 40 pages
of dialogue over the next month or two.
Put those rally caps on for me.
When I return, I'll be tackling the approximately
125 Christmas albums that I downloaded between
November and December, 2006.
Have a great start to Spring!

By "pinch actor" do you mean an understudy?
Enjoy!
Ernie - It's not all bad. While I'm memorizing lines, I'll be transferring stacks of vinyl into the ready position!

Thanks for all the elbow greese on the keyboard! I have enjoyed the ride immensely!

Thanks for your heldp
Anon - Revisit FLLLL.com and leave a comment for the King about the Ferrante & Teicher album. He's a benevolent ruler who's more than happy to help one of his subjects achieve what they want.
Tony - I did take two months off... not by choice! That's how busy my summer has been (and will continue to be until the kids go back to school in three weeks)!
