So it is down to the last inning stretch, fellow Ethernet travellers.
Little more than one week until for better or for worse, I get on that plane and hit the West Coast. I won't lie, I raised much less money than I was hoping for, but more than I had expected if I'm being really honest. Most of my patrons are old friends and family, people who see me often, or want to see me in California; but some of them have been friends I've lost touch with, and that makes me really happy that even though we don't get to hear much from each other, they still care enough to want me to have this trip and see my documentary happen.
All I can say, beyond a heartfelt, tear-filled thank you, is that I will do my very best to create a film that is funny, sincere, and inspiring. And as promised, I'll be sporting my steampunk threads and sarcastic charm ;-)
Meanwhile, I've been cleaning and packing like a madwoman, because not only am I in the throws of a dilemma known as "what to pack for a month abroad when you can't take your closet", but my father's 50th birthday is approaching fast, and my flight is on the heels of the party.
And to add a last cherry on top of things, Last night a woman had a major collision with two of our parked vehicles in front of our house. Dad's car is totalled. The woman is unharmed, thank goodness. This adds all sorts of complications to the already complicated lives of the Songdogs, unfortunately. Including the "how does dad get to work" issue, and the "two gigs, one car" issue of shared vehicles. All I can say is I hope the fates have a happy and timely reason for the added stressors.
but in conclusion, life is going at the speed of light and simultaneously crawling like molasses, as it will in times of waiting and preparing, and we do our best not to get time displacement jet lag.
