| Wow, last time it took me three months to update here, and this time it took me six months. Going by that pattern, the next update will be in nine months
right? Let's hope not! My job continues to keep me busy. I am learning lots of things, and I think I am building a good reputation around the
office. Some times I can't make up my mind whether I like being in a smaller IS group like I am now. In some respects, it's great because I am learning a
lot of things, and have a lot more responsibility, and in other ways, the smaller group makes it tough to stay focused on the things that I do well. Time will
tell how this plays out for my overall career.
In the last few months I've managed to accomplish some major "personal things" I had been wanting to do, including getting to the dentist after a while, seeing
an eye doctor and getting new glasses (which I hadn't done in almost six years), and making the last payment on my car.
A major milestone occurred in my "chorus career" this past June - the end of June brought about the end of my second and final term as VP of Membership for the
Philadelphia Gay Men's Chorus. There is a two-term limit, so I had to step down. In reality, I've been doing the job longer than that, as I was in charge
of membership before it became an elected position. It has been tough in some ways to let go, since I have worked very hard over the years to build up a
consistent Membership program in the chorus, but also, it was time to step aside and let someone else do the job - I can't do this forever, and quite frankly, I really
need the break from having so much to do for the chorus. I am looking forward to having a lot more time to enjoy myself with chorus.
One last note in regards to the chorus. I have to say that our concert this past March - called That 80's Show - was the most fun I have ever had
performing. I have never had so much fun and enjoyed myself so much when performing. The show was pure campy fun, and I will remember it for a long time.
Since I was gone for so long here, I have posted a large number of new Tigger pictures, bringing the total here to 800 pictures. I still really want to
reorganize the whole Tigger pictures section, but that's another major project for down the road. Heck, I haven't even added any new pictures to my own
collection since last October! So that's all for now, I could write novels here, but that's not what you came here to do. Enjoy the new stuff and I
hope to be back soon with more! - Skip C.
