Saturday Stuff

The radio just played Michael Feinstein and Nancy Lamot singing "Getting To Be Habit With Me" and now I've got goosebumps and smile bigger than Manhattan. It also makes me not want to leave the radio anytime soon -- luckily it's a rainy, lazy Saturday. So, rather than get work done I’ll hang out here....

YAY STAFF!
In response to the "Something New From Tor" Tracy emailed me: "That is pretty cool -- but how do you manage to find the time to do ALL of the things you do?"

It's called having an amazing staff. Each and every one of them. Cheers to Bridget, Jamie, Pablo, Peter, Seth, and Vanessa. Did I say they are amazing? I meant to say super amazing.

SPECTRUM JUDGING
Just read this on their site. "We're going to try to post photos and – if the software works – some video clips during the judging just to keep everyone in the loop. Stay tuned!"

Very cool. It'll be fun to get a taste of what's going on. I've only been a judge twice (for some reason everyone thinks I'm a judge annually) and I’m jealous each year when others are there. It's an exhausting day but the Fenners treat you like kings and you get to see tons of great work. It's impossible to leave without being excited about the industry.

AWESOME CYCLOPS DOG
I've owed Vincent Villafranca a shout-out for ages. He creates amazing bronze sculptures, like this my cyclops dog that I love. He’s able to imbue his work with so much personality and a natural and easy body language. Check out his site, but know that the photos do not do them justice.

OK, the radio has moved on to Sinatra. I can go now.
