April 27th The Surge

April 27, 2011 in Missions by michael

In the last 24 hours or so I’ve felt a “surge” of creativity. I haven’t felt this way for some time and it’s exhilarating. It’s not exactly a manic enthusiasm, more of an excited hopefulness that there’s still something in the tank.
So I’m taking advantage of this new found inspiration and [...]

April 26th: Snow Day

April 26, 2011 in Missions by michael

It’s a snow day (snowin’ like crazy as I write this) and I’m home playing with my newest toy that I got for my birthday. It’s an iPad and it’s so cooooooooooool. I’m sending my first M2B:) blog via my iPad hoping that the coolness of the tablet influences the coolness of the [...]

April 21st Where’s the sun?

April 21, 2011 in Missions by michael

Okay, I have officially had enough winter.  Enough gray skies.  Enough snow, sleet, rain and wind.  I’m way, way ready for spring.  To officially invite the season that was supposed to have arrived a month ago, I’m wearing dark glasses.  More than an invitation to the sun, I’m sort of daring it to manifest itself [...]

January-March 8th: Cyber-Hibernating

March 9, 2011 in Missions by michael

I’ve been hibernating.  Actually, cyber-hibernating.  Haven’t been blogging for a couple of months because my brain sort of shut down after the Forgotten Carols tour this year and it’s taken longer than I expected for it to re-boot.
I chuckle because I just took Lynne’s computer in to MacDocs for some repair work.  A new video [...]

December 6th-30th: Tour and aftermath

December 30, 2010 in Missions by michael

For those of you who had a chance to follow the tour on faceBook  (The Forgotten Carols page) you know what a blast we all had doing the show.  It was truly a joy to be with such great people both on stage and off.  I’m profoundly grateful for the enthusiasm and support I felt [...]

November 19th-December 5th: Tour joy

December 6, 2010 in Missions by michael

I haven’t had a chance to get ALL my M2B:) moments here on this blog, but I want you to know there are more than I could have ever hoped for…and they’ve come from you who have been coming to see THE FORGOTTEN CAROLS.  We’ve been capturing these memories on our  FORGOTTEN CAROLS page on [...]

November 18th: Magic in the air

November 18, 2010 in Missions by michael

First day of Forgotten Carols rehearsals and I’m a happy guy.  Reunited with great friends anticipating the best season ever and already having way too much fun.  As we reviewed the blocking of the show and looked for better ways to bring the story to life we found some really fun stuff that’s been buried [...]

November 5th-17th Twelve days of Craziness

November 17, 2010 in Missions by michael

It’s important for me to say, right here and now, that  I HAVE NOT ceased my daily search for meaningful happiness AND I HAVE NOT failed to find it. I have failed to get to my computer the last twelve days to share the joy with those of you who read these postings.  I’ve been [...]

November 2nd-4th: Chores

November 5, 2010 in Missions by michael

Three days of chores and I’m feeling “chore’d out”.  Don’t get me wrong.  There’s a great feeling of satisfaction getting an oversized load of stuff hauled off to the dump, getting my dad’s car repaired, moving the fire-pit benches up out of the sure to come snow, putting new tires on Lynne’s car, getting folks [...]

November 1st: Go Aggies!!

November 5, 2010 in Missions by michael

Drove to Logan to support my friends in the Nashville Tribute Band at their show at the Kent Concert Hall on the campus of Utah State University.  The show opened with me, sitting at the piano, playing the intro to LET HIM IN, the first song in the Forgotten Carols.  A few measures in, I [...]
