A big weekend that ends with a very nice Monday, that describes my life over the past few days. Late last week, I got a call from the good friend Gene in the PR business. They needed a scribbler who can work fast. That’s me, so I’m back at work all weekend coming up with radio scripts for the Paralyzed Veterans of America. I have another deadline coming up in a couple of days, but I made the first deadline this morning, and haven’t heard back from the firm, so I’m assuming everything is okay. All this freelance work has had a nice effect on our finances. It’s looking like we already have enough to cover Stephen’s tuition in January, which means we’ll have most of 2009 to get his tuition for next year. I’m feeling pretty good about this.
Of course, all this freelance writing hasn’t left a lot of time for Icebox Radio, but we did manage to move the Icebox Radio online radio station to the house where I can keep an eye on it, and make the programming sound a little more professional. Unlike a podcast, an online radio station runs just like a regular radio station, requiring a constant stream of audio, which means the station really needs its own computer. Fortunately, the theater had one donated this month, so we’re on the air. And, I admit, I kind of like being able to jump on the air and introduce the next play whenever I feel like it.
We’ve heard from Stephen, and he is working a lot this weekend at the UMM pool. Not the best situation for him (the job is frustrating) but he is enduring. He’ll be home in a week, and we’re looking forward too it. Even a couple of days with Stephen is going to be wonderful, and I think he’ll enjoy the chance to decompress for a while. More later.
