06/29/2008: "Coming up for air"
Whew! The last few weeks have been intense-- formerly, when facing a *big show* deadline I'd typically futz around up to the proverbial last minute, indulging self-indulgent creativity rather than hard-nosed production until the final crunch. That final crunch was then a blur of multiple fourteen-hour workdays leading straight into the show's opening date-- but no more!

I resolved to reset the crunch calendar this year, shifting the manic-productivity zone two or three weeks earlier. This way, most of the nitty-gritty work should be complete well before opening day, enabling me to enter the fray and confront the public with a much more relaxed, rested and positive attitude.

--And you know what? It's working! What a gorgeous batch of flutes this is, and it's too bad that we probably won't have a chance to photographically catalog them. At this rate I may even return to doing two or three shows a year rather than just one. --r.
