In a Blur...

That is how my life feels like right now. It is all rushing by so fast I'm having trouble keeping up with everything. 

"Tales of the Road"--the book--is flying off store shelves. I'm amazed. I was bemused to see this shop window. It is pretty big time to share shelf and display window space with Garrison Keillor. People, however, are complaining that they can't find books. Many places are sold out and the book is back ordered for several weeks. Bad timing to be sure, but nice to know that it is popular. 

I'm in the process of 'pulling' soundbites to plug into the script for the documentary. I have 25 pounds of stuff shoved into a 10 pound bag and I'm really going to have to edit the final script closely. At least I'm looking at the final script. It took DAYS to watch ALL 65 tapes. My brains were seeping out my ears near the very end. As I've said in the past...logging tape is my least favorite activity in broadcasting/filmmaking. 

The calendar says Christmas is near yet my head is somewhere else. It doesn't feel much like Christmas at this point for me. Oh, a few of the book signings were very festive. The book talk/tea at the Le Duc Mansion in Hastings was lovely and with the mansion all decked out for the holidays, I felt pretty Christmas-y! Beyond that I'm not in the spirit of the holidays...yet. 

Here is hoping YOU are filled with the joy of the season!!!
