I have to say that I have really had a wonderful weekend. It was productive, fun, relaxing, and uplifting. Now… I am dreading going back to work tomorrow, but I am also kind of looking forward to it as well.
Nashville in Harmony started this weekend, and I was pleasantly surprised. I have a bad habit of getting ideas in my head about what something will be be before I actually get somewhere, or see something. And NiH (Nashville in Harmony’s abbreviation) was no different. While I had seen media online about the group that would completely invalidate my thoughts of the group, I still had the thoughts that this choir would be a great group of people that put forth an honest effort at singing, sing, and move on. I thought that it would be mediocre at best… and I could NOT have been more wrong. These people are serious, and I am so fortunate to be a part of their ensemble. As it stands now, we are in the top 3 of the largest community GLBT and Friendly choirs. There is a focus, a goal, a vision, and organization. And above all else, there is a tremendous pool of talent. The family here is diverse, special, and you can really feel the love coming from these people, and I know that I will be a part of it for a long time. I did know a couple of people going into this, but not well, but I have more than made up for that with all the friends that I have met so far. The choir is 114 members strong, very large for a community choir, and we are growing. This season is going to be a lot of fun, the music selections are fantastic, and the director is awesome! I could probably go on forever, so I think that I will just stop there. 
I actually had some time this morning to work on Sharp-Blogger, which was awesome. I have almost completed the Common portions of the code that will handle event logging and exception handling. This is the biggest part to build in the underlying structure as all of the parts will build from this part of the system. I think the other areas will fall in place rather quickly and I will be able to build the administration console. Once that is done, all that will remain is the view model (loading the data into the site so it can be viewed). I wish that I were further along that this at this point, but it is all good. I am MORE than happy with where the remainder of my time is being spent.
And that is about all. I guess I should head to bed. I want to get to work AT 7 tomorrow, which means that I have to be up and out by 6:15.
