Time (is on my side)

I've had something rare this past and current week:  Time.  Usually my work days are slammed full of stuff, deadlines, to-do lists and overflowing inboxes, but since getting back from Crooked Creek I've had about two weeks with just a few sessions and mixes and some actual downtime before another project starts.  

I was hoping, at first, to do a bunch of writing, but it's turned out great for just basic get-it-done stuff.  Selling off old gear, repairing some stuff and general sprucing up the studio.  I've been able to catch up on my email too (at least as of today).  I dive into more sessions later this week, and then the great Hutchmoot will swoop in like some demented eagle, but for now, it's nice to have a few minutes to breathe.

Sunday some friends called and invited our family out to the lake to hang with them on their ski boat.  Sadie had pinkeye, (sadness), so just Ella and I went.  

Besides slipping off the side of the boat and bruising my leg, and getting hit (and bruised again) in the nose with a water ski, it was an awesome time.  Ella was swimming like a fish and braved the tube to discover she loved it.  

It is just such an incredible experience watching your child discover things and find enjoyment in what they're able to do.  I just watched her and smiled the whole time.  

Which I'm pretty sure is how I got hit with the ski.

In other news, an EP I produced earlier this Summer just came out on iTunes.  It's only three songs, so only $3, and it's fantastic.  

The artist is Seth Harper.  He's lived here in Nashville for a number of years and finally decided to take some songs to the studio.  

I couldn't be more appreciative to have gotten to work on these songs.  Particularly, for me anyway, the first song, "And the World Was an Ocean..."  Wow.  You've just got to hear it.  You can click on the picture and it will take you to the iTunes page.

Well, that's about it for me tonight.  I have a list of blog topics written out, so I'll hopefully use some of this golden time to write a bit more on here.  Hope you have a great week!
