After Mum returned from her well-deserved massage, Dad headed into town to meet with Lee.  By the time he arrived, he was Adrian.  Being Dad still would just have been weird.  They had a lot to talk about – pre-pro for the two day shoot this week.  Lots of other stuff needed talking about as well, but pre-pro meetings can take up some time.  That’s why it’s important to have them.  Anyway, a couple hours into the meeting, Adrian reaches into his pocket for his ever-present Burt’s Bees, and finds this:

Now, he didn’t panic right off.  Maybe Avery had been asleep the whole time?  Wary, he messaged his darling wife, whom he dearly hoped was still feeling massaged, and not assaulted by a crying baby for lack of a soother.  Perish the very thought, too nightmarish to bear.

But all was as well as could be expected.  Marjorie couldn’t find the backup soother (eep!), but had managed to find the backup’s backup.  Saved!

This is the life we lead now.  When three soothers are the bare minimum.  Just squeaking by.  Too close for comfort.  We’re going to acquire a couple more, I gwarantees.

I missed my girls this afternoon, but work must be did.  With the pre-pro sorted to an appropriate level of preparedness, we are set to get the full value out of tomorrow’s TabletBiz Expo, the first-of-its-kind convention devoted to tablets in business.  8 hours, 25 speakers, 15 demo booths.  Wha?  25 speakers?  I dunno.  We shall see.  I’m really hoping it’s not a bunch of Point Of Sale stuff we’ve already mastered.  We want to be wowed.  Show us stuff we haven’t thought of yet.  We shall see.

Then, Wednesday is gearing up for the shoot, but hopefully there will still be time in the morning for some writing with the fellas.  I believe we are ready to look at the next Chaos project.  Exhilarating!

Thursday-Friday, shoot days.  Wall to wall.  I’m expecting 12 hour days.  Day one will probably be a little shorter, but day two is tear down and gear return.  Definitely the suckiest part of the job.  Though we have been talking about getting a PA…

Saturday, we are shooting again, but this is for CBcom.  The content must flow.  He who controls the content controls the universe.  Anyone?

Sunday… Sunday I would like to rest.  Where the heck did the week go?

If I miss posting at some point in the next few days, please forgive me.  I may choose sleep over you.  Just this once.  Maybe if you leave a comment telling me how much you love reading my blog, and how thought provoking you find it all, then maybe I will skip another hour’s sleep.  But probably not.  But maybe yes.  But no.  Yes.  No.  Maybe.  I love you.
