Today, for instance, I&#8217;m driving from Chicago to New York, and then from New York to Boston on Monday.  There&#8217;s an open house at a grad school program I really like up there, and things have worked out so that I can spend my birthday with three of my closest family &#150; my folks and one of my oldest, dearest friends.  Also, in a bizarre twist of fate, this will be the second year in a row that I&#8217;ll be spending my birthday in New York City.  The world, it conspires against me sometimes.<br \/>\nI have all sorts of things in the queue, all in various stages of launch.  For instance, I&#8217;ve been reworking the &#8216;poetry&#8217; section of <A href=\"http:\/\/www.geoffreylong.com\">geoffreylong.com<\/a> to reflect two new ideas, include seven or more new poems, and include mp3s of me reading each poem.  I&#8217;m also updating the site to include my involvement with <A href=\"http:\/\/www.tohubohuproductions.com\">Tohubohu<\/A> and <A href=\"http:\/\/www.collaborationtown.org\">CollaborationTown<\/a>, and two new concept essays.  Parts of this are live (updated &#8216;about&#8217; section, concept essays, a handful of poems), and all of it should be ready to roll sometime this week, as well as a couple of sizable client projects.  Right now, though, I have to hit the highway.  Wish me luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This last week has been, and the next week will be, absolutely and utterly insane.
