What I Have Been Up To: A Quick Hal Update :comments
Posted by Hal
So for those who caught my status update on twitter/facebook (I’m using ping by the way now, which I recommend for those who want to update status on multiple platforms), I spent the weekend on my own with E. We had a pretty good time…in two days we managed to do ballet (her, not me), swimming, skating plus grocery shopping and making Jello. We put grapes in it, yum. I’m getting into this whole fatherhood thing. The only downside was a trip to my brother’s house, 45 minutes each way only to find out that his daughter, who E really wanted to play with, wasn’t even home. Plus they didn’t seem to really want us there. Ah family, whattya gonna do?
Now it’s back to work. Had an editorial meeting with my publisher this morning. We had a great talk about the remaining stuff to be done to the Peep book. So it was back to it today but maybe because we’d just had this very intense discussion, I found I couldn’t focus. Sometimes I need a little time to mentally digest ideas. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll be able to fully focus.
In the meantime, the publisher has lined up some great blurbs for the book, which I’ll be sharing with everyone shortly including the official presentation of the cover.
Other news: The Peep documentary is getting serious, we’ve got a long meeting scheduled for thursday where we’re really going to start getting into the planning of the who-what-where-when. Exciting. Plus we’ll be looking at the prototype of the Peep website which will be a super cool interactive site that encompasses the documentary, the book, and it’s own web-only components.
So that’s my update. Gotta go convince the kid to get into bed. I will use my newfound daddy skills.
ps – anyone want to hang out with me? I’ll be at the Ice Cream Social this Wed. We’ll be informally launching the new issue of Broken Pencil and hanging out.

Hi Hal,
Did anyone show up to the ice scream social? I worry about your ego, as I know you’re probably still a little bruised by your Facebook meet up. Inviting 700 people to get together, only to have 1 show up has got to be something difficult to bounce back from, I’d imagine.
Get back to work on the book,
Your Publisher

My best suggestion - and I do this on Saturday before I go grocery shopping - is sit down and plan a menu for each day and each meal I need to cook. As I make the menu I make a list of the ingredients. My grocery list is divided into sections of the supermarket so as I place an ingredient on my list I put it in a specific category. (Makes for less running around in the supermarket and less confusion on my list!)
