I guess I could save this for the monthly. But I'm feeling in charge of life and biz. So thought I'd share.

First, first day of virtual school with the girls was HORRIBLE for everyone. I was in charge of Inara. She was bored. There's a lot of technical stuff. It was not fun. Lots of technical issues. Ended the day stressed out.

Day 2 was better. I had Kenzie much of today. She was miserable the first day. But ended the second in good spirits. It helped that I adjusted MY idea of what to expect. Which is basically, we are in a holding pattern. If school can keep them entertained, great. But I don't expect them to learn much except how to use Zoom. 

Hopefully, things will change in the near future. But sadly, there are still a lot of people who don't understand science enough to know that vaccines work. So even when a vaccine is developed, we're gonna have it tough.

But it could be worse. There are low income families with kids at home trying to learn. I'm sad and feel for them.

Work

Fortunately, I'm ahead with work this month. I have two Celtic podcasts scheduled. And tomorrow, I'll start working on the next two shows. I have the Pub Songs Podcast ready. And I'll make adjustments for that next one too. So podcasts are good!

I also made a LOT of progress on music. I have three singles currently scheduled for release:

Hobbit Hornpipe on Aug 24

Brandywine River Reel on September 18

Together (KrabbeConnect) on October 7

I also finished recording a What Color Is Your CD for Carol. It has a new cat song I wrote for her. Hopefully, it'll go somewhere sometime too. It's cute. Even though it was written in about 15 minutes. lol

I'm feeling good about my release schedule for Selcouth. Though I still have several tracks that need recording. I'm getting mixes back from the last batch right now.

Oh and the "Brandywine River Rell" will come to you soon.

Which reminds me...

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING MY MUSIC!

These tracks are funded by YOU. 

You are paying for my additional instrumentation and releases. So thank you for supporting my music.

I don't have kids, but I really feel for those who do, at such a difficult time. I'm glad you are figuring things out, and keeping realistic expectations. And I'm super glad to hear you talk about the importance of understanding the science in this whole situation. Maybe there's a PSA type of song in that? Capt Mal and company certainly understood the importance of medical supplies... I dunno, just thinking as I type. Be safe. Keep flyin'

Must admit that I am so glad I don't have kids at home. I don't think that Kevin would have survived the experience. I wish you and Gwen all the luck in the world and if there is anything I can do to help holler.
