All of a sudden, the next few days have
become really, really busy.
I don't know how it happened; I suppose
the fact that I have a long-documented inability to say “no” to
anything played a big part on it. But between today and Monday I
have--
-A program today at noon at the
Marquette West Rotary about D-Day.
-Three TV interviews on Friday (giving
new meaning to my old History Center nickname, “Jim Koski, Media
Wh*re”).
-A live broadcast for a few hours at
Meijer on Sunday.
-The walking tour for the 150th
anniversary of The Great Marquette Fire Monday night.
Then, I guess, I can relax.
It's weird. I knew I had most of these
events coming up, and because I've either done them before or don't
need to do much (if any) preparation for them, I haven't had to do
much (if any) advance thinking about things. And I think that's part
of the “problem” Usually, when I have a big show or tour I've
never done before, I spend weeks beforehand researching, writing, and
rehearsing, so I'm aware that it's rapidly approaching. But the
D-Day show is something we've done before. I have done some new work
on the Fire Tour, but it's been nothing compared to what I usually
do. And I can do TV interviews and remotes in my sleep (sometimes
literally). So I understand why all these events, in a five day span
of time, kind of skipped my notice.
My bad.
Never fear, though; to quote a great
American philosopher, I will survive. I'll just have to start paying
a little more attention to the big calendar on my office wall, the
calendar where I write everything down, the calendar that's supposed
to help me remember not to schedule too many things in too few days.
You know, THAT calendar.
I don't think my insanity should impact
these babblings too much, although if I DO have to resort to a “best
of” one of these days, consider this your apology in advance. Now,
with that, I'm off to make sure I have everything I need for the
Rotary presentation in a few hours. Details on how it goes tomorrow!
