blegg guilt

OK, I'm suffering major guilt pangs for not having blogged for a long time. Here's the condensed version in no particular order:
1) very busy completing a CD project, release party at the beginning of April (details TBA)
2) producing a new client's CD
3) finishing the recording of a tune I know will be a major hit for Bette Midler (sitting in drawer since 1987) (the tune - not Bette)
4) listening to, and falling in love all over again with Buena Vista Social Club
5) obsessing about the Canadian political scene - and positively green with envy that some political bleggers blahg many times a DAY!!!!
6) writing articles for a couple of magazines (pro bono!)
7) trying to complete a bunch of smaller projects and never having time because of:
8) THE DOG! I walk him in the morning for at least 45 minutes, often longer. Then we come home, he goes to sleep for about three hours which is my work window. Then I feel compelled to play with him, so we play tug of war or catch in the living room (basically an excuse for me to cuddle with him) He is a cutie 80% of the time and a complete crazy terror the rest of the time. Also still nips and nibbles and bites (lightly) which is majorly annoying
9) on tenterhooks because I'm about to be grandpa any day now...(a friend called from Japan tonight at 11pm and I was sure it was my daughter announcing the arrival of my grandson but alas, not yet)
10) watched American Idol in total disbelief. Someone asked me at a gig last week: "Why aren't you more famous?" Hehehe....after watching AI tonight (or any night!! ), I know the answer.
