In a nutshell...

Yeah, it’s clich?. This year seems to be starting out so busy that it’s the only analogy I can think of. But, don’t get me wrong. This is a good thing. (Right?)

A little before New Year’s, we started a new membership at the UMKC Recreation Center. (We were going to another gym last year, but kind of let our membership fizzle when summer came around.) This has been awesome, though we’re still getting into the motivational swing of things. I consider our progress pretty good so far.

Last week, we started taking Yoga at church again. Tonight was our second class and, man, was it hard! I will be in pain tomorrow, but I know it is good for us.

I already told you about Project 365, which is going great. You should check it out and join the fun — it’s never too late!

Then, get this, yesterday I started to learn Japanese! Yeah, really. A few days ago, I ordered these Learn Japanese in Your Car CDs and now I (Watashi) can even say a couple words. If I knew how to say “wish me luck” in Japanese, I would.

Ok, then there’s this: a small, but fairly well-known record company has offered me a 500 CD deal for my A Different Kind of Cop project! As long as I can get something finished by this summer. I know this is a modest deal as far as recording deals go, but it is kind of neat. I haven’t formerly accepted the offer yet, but I’m clase. It’s just…who has time for writing music?! I think it’s worth a try, though.

Then, we have the memorial for my father-in-law on the 24th. It’s in Atlanta. The 24th would have been his birthday. It is sad, but I am convinced that it will be a great trip; needed by all of us.

And all of this while working and reading three books and, well… You get the picture.

So, there’s the nutshell. What a year this is going to be.
