I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok.

So it's been a while since I've had time to post. So sorry. It's been crazy this week. Alison and I are going to take a little vacation starting Sunday, so I've been piling up all the work from this week and anticipated next week as well. Somehow that's going to help me relax?
In typical AO.com form, the most I can handle right now are the glorious bullet points, so here we go!
- First off, thanks to everybody who has sent in ideas for Letters to the Editor, Vol. II. I'm so excited to get to go through them and share the songs, and the process, with you. If you have an idea, I'd love to hear it.
- Secondly, thanks to everyone who was helpful in trying to get me a show in Austin. Stu Smith rose to the occasion, and set up an evening at Austin City Church. Alas, some things came up that forced us to reschedule our vacation to something a good bit closer to home. Soon, though, we'll make it happen. It was really wonderful to get the emails and ideas of you guys trying to get me a place to play. We should do that more often. I should go on tour or something. (More on that soon...) Anyway, thanks again, and so sorry it didn't work out.
- Saturday Christopher Williams, the talented singer/songwriter/neighbor, spent six hours in the very tall trees in my backyard cutting down dead limbs with a chainsaw on a pole. It was awesome.
- Saturday night I made a fire pit, something I've wanted to do for five years, with some of the afore-mentioned downed limbs. We now have a giant pile of firewood, the ability to make S'mores, and a pile of branches on our curb that is bigger than either of our cars.
- I've been finishing up a record for Andy Dolson this week. He's a talented guy and it's coming together nicely.
- Sunday morning our daughter Sadie is getting baptized. We're looking forward to that. A special time, for sure, and both of our parents are coming to town as well.
I guess that's about it for me today. I'm really excited for a little vacation, it will be our first really since we've had kids. And then I'll get to be excited to get back, since I'll get to start on "Letters II". Thank you guys for letting me do this.
And let me know if you need any firewood.

Actually, I could stand to have some firewood, and I'll be in town Sunday night ... ;)

i also have to get a few thoughts written down this weekend for your next letters project.
HOLY CRAP. I've been checking your blog via GoogleReader when I realized that I was getting the feed from andrewosenga.com and not andyosenga.com. I decided to check the actual page when I saw I've been missing tons of updates, including Letters Vol II prep?!
Come on, technology! Work with me!
I realized the googlereader problem last week. And if I knew for sure I wasn't going to move this fall/winter I'd be all up for firewood but thanks anyways.
Andy,
Awesome to hear about Sadie's baptism. I hope it's a really great time to reflect on God's faithfulness with your family.
Also, Andy Dolson is a fellow Akronian. Went to the same church as he during college.
I just listened to _The Morning_ today for the first time in a little while--did it with earbuds--and it is a really nice record. It's nice to put the "speakers" up close and hear some of the nuances and subtleties a bit better. Enjoyed it. Looking fwd to hearing LttE II.
have you ever made smores with resees peanut butter cups? if not, you are missing out - assuming you like chocolate and peanut butter.
there is weeping and gnashing of teeth in Austin, TX. Please come back soon.
