Museum's 25th Birthday, SLB's 30th...

Rikki and I just got home from the first of many 2008 birthday parties in honor of the Children's Museum's 25th. SLB's 30th birthday is this year, too, so its likely to be a year full of birthday cake and fun.

I was lucky enough to be able to focus on final show prep for a few hours today. Even after this many years, it is critical to carefully plan each program. While we have some specific principles we follow, the structure and preparation allows us to be creative -- and to enjoy the program more, too.

Other activities today included mastering some internal recordings for the museum and meeting with the likely lead sponsor for our annual Audio CD Mother's Day and Father's Day Card projects.

Bill Lucker, Rikki and I always have had a running joke we'd make on a rare Friday night out on the order of "If I go to sleep right *now*, I can get X hours of sleep...", the joke being that going to sleep "now" was certainly not possible and, worse yet, the number of hours was already too small! As I write this, X = 5 hours so its time to stop for now.
