Oh Canada!

I'm sitting in the Buffalo/Niagara airport at the moment. Katie and I are just finishing our 2008 summer vacation, this time to Chatauqua, Toronto and visiting some of the Canadian Kimes.

We had a great time! I've certainly learned more about where I come from. I learned that my great-great-grandfather was named Elijah Keim and he came from Germany, but nobody's sure where in Germany. Family history is fascinating. If you do it well you can really stitch together some pieces of who you are and who you might become!

Alas, the vacation is coming to a close, but it doesn't mean the fun has to. This weekend I'm giving a workshop on New Media at our church. You may not be able to tell from how much I update this blog, but I've been working pretty steadily as a website/podcast designer as of late. It's been a blast, and now I get to teach about it!

As for artistic ambitions. I continue the process of "Elektra/Soul" at Emory, and I'm looking forward to writing some music for "Managing Maxine" at the Alliance theater in a few months.

Before I sign off, I'd like to say Hi to our friend Betty who faithfully reads this blog all the way from Cambodia! Katie and I love you and miss you Betty!

peace
