Things at the Wright House are good. Things got a bit crazy for us over the weekend. Our church scheduled 2 meetings with a consultant on Friday and Saturday, which, as you can imagine, wasn't the most fun way to spend a weekend.
In addition to that, my cousin Tracy lost her husband. Danny was in his late-30s and died Friday night of a heart attack. Death always hits hard, but this experience has left us all a bit shaken.
Sunday night was a bit of an emotional roller coaster as we prepared for Jonah's first day of Kindergarten. Monday morning, he was ready to go and I swear he even looked older!
So far, the week's been pretty hard on Krist and me. We simply hand't prepared ourselves for how little we'd actually be seeing Jonah each day. Example: previously, I'd stay at home until 9 or so, helping out with breakfast and getting ready. I'd work for two or three hourse, then come home and see Jonah during my whole lunch break. I'd be home about 5, which usually gave three hours or so to see him. Now, we drop him off at 8 and I head to work. I come home for lunch (still forgetting that he won't be there.) So far, I've gone with Kristen to pick him up at 3, but then I'm back to work until 5. He's so exhausted that he's asleep by 7:15.
On a more enjoyable note, I had a mondo-practice Monday night for gig on September 18th. Many of you who've played with me before know that I'm not a big fan of the long-practice. If we can't get it in 2 or 3 passes, we move on, right?
So on this Monday night practice, me and the gang (Romack on drums, Brad A. on bass, David McElveen on keys and Ryan Finnerud on electric guitar) worked 3 songs for two hours. Yeah... at the end of practice, I played them my new song, "Waiting for Me." I was already liking the song, but after hearing it with a band, I'm loving it. Very different sort of song for me...like a weird mix of Americana and AC Piano Pop.
Thanks for stopping by the blog, and all jokes aside (as in the first paragraph,) thanks for checking up on me.

Todd, glad you are ok. It has been real quiet with no Todd blogs to read. Sorry to hear about your cousin-in-law, man that is really crazy. He was pretty young!
