So much artistically has been happening, but very difficult to show my progress here. I finished an arts project AC2009, and have started to climb the ladder in terms of grants and funding. I was asked to be on the Ontario Arts Council Jury this spring, and wow! what an experience. I was able to read over 200 applications including support material, that was submitted by provincial artists and performers. In total more than a million and a quarter dollars were given to approved projects, and its hard not to be affected by the creative ideas that were presented.

As well, I have been doing more editing, and am lining up a few gigs here and there as a general person-for-hire. I've done some stage assisting, festival volunteering, and helping out a buddy who is trying to get her new band up and running. For that, it has not been very hands-on, but I've been help out somewhat as a personal assistant, while she does her thing.

My long/forever running job is finished...kaput. So much for American relations. What with the economy, it wasn't surprising to hear that our contract was removed. Bye-bye Blackberry support. I am not unhappy at all.

Personally, it's the same old thing. I'm fairly content. I can't complain about much, actually. Or, if I could, I wouldn't. I'm not really that kind of person. I am just trying to make the best of things, and frankly, I stay a lot happier by looking ahead, than looking over my shoulder at what once was.
