The Busy Season

It seems like the year is already flying by. While I'm really excited about what this year holds I'm also a little bit intimidated by it.
I just got back from four days at Equine Affaire in Pomona California where I did two talks and two demos with horses. It turns out that the hotel the Equine Affaire people put me in put me in the wrong room, on the floor where the banquets rooms are. This meant little sleep as the wedding parties went on into the night. Me being from a place that is really quiet--out nearest neighbor is a quarter of a mile away--was woken up by every strange sound, which most were. I didn't complain since I assumed the noise was just a normal "city" thing.
Looking at my March and April schedule I don't get a weekend off for two months. I'll be at the Colorado Horse Expo in March for a weekend--they've scheduled 6 demos! I love it. I really do, there's nothing better for me than to work with the animal and to share a different view than people may normally have about what is happening with the animal.
In April we're having our first--of hopefully many--two day seminars in Illinois. The people who are putting this on are working really hard and have found a great venue for it.
My normal class schedule starts in March--looking out at the snow falling right now I can't wait until the spring thaw. Of course March is our snowiest month.
This year I took and passed my Structural Integration Certification exam, so I can now call myself a Board Certified Structural Integrator.
The online course is close to release which is a relief after such a long birthing process.
What's up with you folks?
