Priorities

It’s about time I start using this website regularly.

It feels like I say that every year, and then something else takes up my time as a priority.

Over the last few years, my focus shifted from building a following on YouTube to trying out TikTok. That has been a little more successful. The main aspect has been discoverability. I’m at at roughly 16,000 right now. That’s a good size after 3 or so years.

THE PRIORITY today is my trip to Chicago. (I noticed my last post is also about that.) More importantly, Im going to go see the Colleen Moore Fairy Castle Exhibit. I’ll update with photos later.

That’s all I have for now and I’m aware that this is a less than interesting post, no pictures, no videos. Nothing.

I should put myself on a schedule.

(That’s coming in the next post.)

During all this insanity, Continue reading

It’s been a very long time since I posted last. I am not great at keeping up with the website. 🙂 That will likely change though since I have a very big event coming up in June.

During the weekend of June 14th, I will be attempting to break the current record for the Longest Harp Marathon. I have to beat a record of 25 hours and 34 minutes that was initially set in 2010.
Because one of the first questions I always get is about breaks, here is a short summary of the guidelines I need to follow for the attempt. 🙂
