The Week In Review

So! What did we accomplish this week?

The week began with doubts and second thoughts. I anticipated setbacks, and I'm sure there still will be setbacks. Death, taxes, construction on I-81, and setbacks, the only sure bets in this thing called life. That's the way the bunny bounces.

But it turned out that this was not the week for setbacks. This was a week for forward progress on my book The Greatest Record Ever Made. No, it's not finished yet. No, it doesn't have a publisher yet. There is a lot of work yet to be done, and I mean a lot of work. But much has been accomplished, and if we're calculating wins and losses, this week most definitely counts as a win. An unequivocal win. I'll take the win.

This was a very, very good week for The Greatest Record Ever Made. I can say no more.

For now.
