An Accounting

Hello, dear, disused blog. I apologize for letting you collect dust for so long, but I've had a busy few months. Since you are, among other things, a compilation of lists, here is a list of what I've been up to since we saw each other last.

Separated from my wife
Traveled to San Antonio for work
Traveled to Denver for work
Traveled to NYC to sing and visit Rachel
Traveled to Pennsylvania to sing (twice)
Performed at the Patterson Theater
Read Kent Haruf's Eventide, Leif Enger's So Brave, Young, and Handsome, Marilynne Robinson's Home, Greg Rucka's A Gentleman's Game, Robert Pinsky's Gulf Music, Jacqueline Carey's entire Kushiel's Legacy and Imriel series, and Mary Oliver's Evidence
Initiated attempts to raise over a million and a half dollars for a work project
Began advocating state legislators again
Caught the flu (not sure if it was "The Pig," as a colleague terms it, but it was definitely something)
Talked to a roomful of lawyers about philanthropy
Went on a contemplative prayer retreat led by the Bishop of Maryland
Attended a chili tasting at the World Champion Punkin Chunkin festival in Delawaer
Euthanized my elderly and infirm cat
Photographed my coworker's wedding
Scoped out potential new singing spaces in the Northern Shenandoah Valley
Hurt
Leaned on my friends
Fell (deeper) in love

I've had, in short, just a few things going on. But I'm gonig to try (my perennial resolution) to be more faithful about posting here.
