Falcons vs. Panthers – before the storm
Sep 10th
Today, I have the privilege and joy of working at the home opener for the NFL’s Carolina Panthers. It’s one of those quandries, where you find yourself laboring on the Lord’s Day, yet quoting the apostle Paul when he intimates about one day being like all the others (for all of my theolog friends, sorry I can’t find chapter and verse to confirm my presumption).
I have seen my old freelancing boss, Matty, who travels with this Fox Sports crew. He gave me my first break back in 1992, and I will be forever grateful. We had lunch yesterday, and enjoyed telling some stories about Baltimore.
It’s the pre game lull, so you’ll have to check your favorite sports page or TV show for the results. I’m pulling for the Panthers.
I can’t believe it
Sep 6th
people read blogs on the internet… this is amazing…
but seriously, I had a day at work where my brain got fried, but I have nothing to show for it. Or so it seems. In my new job, the projects seem to go on and on and on. When I freelanced doing TV audio, the work was hard, and the hours were long.
BUT, there was always a beginning (called ‘set up’), and an ending (called “the strike”).
Me thinks my brain has to get used to a different way of working. Guess it’s called growing up.
Laboring on Labor Day
Sep 3rd
I’m spending Labor Day w/ my family in Boone, NC; a beautiful place in the Appalachain Mountains. Unfortunately, it’s because I’m working. But hey, it could be worse.
We saw some old friends from Eden Prairie who went to Wooddale Church, and were in our sunday school class. They live in Matthews now, and were harrassing me about not keeping up w/ my blog…
yes, I need to be better about this. So, if you are checking this, please drop me a comment, and I promise I’ll do better about staying in touch.
