Then, my job search began, and I thought it would be a good venue for expressing some of my feelings, working out some things, and keeping friends and family updated. It has worked well for me in that regard. It’s surprisingly therapeutic to just spew out some of the things that are on your mind.
However, I suspect it’s not very interesting to anyone but me. Not even me much of the time.
Since my time is kind of at a premium these days, I don’t have the time to do a few things that I would like with the blog. It’s not really anything more than a day-to-day online diary, and the best blogs are a whole lot more than that.
I’d like to:
Make the design a little more attractive. I’m considering moving to WordPress, which has cooler designs and more flexibility.
Regularly update a blogroll, interesting sites, and media I’m watching/reading/listening to.
Post on something else…anything. Get a little more topical. A little deeper. Spend a little more time on preparation and composition than I do now.
Hopefully, when I get a new job I will have time to do some of this. Right now, I don’t.
This weekend, I have a lot of music to prep for the church picnic Sunday. I have a 45-minute presentation to create for an interview on Tuesday. My son has a cross-country meet tomorrow that I will probably have to skip.
No word recently from the guy I met with last week at Company SJ. It went well, and my impression was that there would be more conversation. He’s a really busy guy, so I’ll be patient and see what comes up. I’m pretty hopeful about this one.
I got a surprise callback from Local University, which is the Tuesday interview. I was very unhappy with the phone interview, but I guess I did something right. Either that or the candidate pool is woeful. I need to get cranking on my Powerpoints for this one.
More on these as they develop.
Fret factor: It’s been lower
Beer factor: Stone Pale Ale...now in 12-ounce bottles!

I've never had Stone Pale Ale. Where is it from?
Stone is in San Diego, and makes some wonderfully full-flavored brews.
Their Pale Ale is outstanding, and I tasted their Porter last night at Capitol Ale for the first time. I will drink that again. Oh yes, I will.
I am a big IPA fan, and when you take a slug of Stone Ruination IPA, your brain says "HOPS!"
And, of course, the biggest Stone of all, Arrogant Bastard Ale. It says "You're Not Worthy" right on the label.
