Music and Values

Those have pretty much been the theme of my week. I got a new microphone on Tuesday, so I’ve been recording more music, and I’ve been writing about values on both of my blogs, as well as attending an Engage KW session on them. Values, not my blogs. It can be hard to pick out what our values are, and there’s been a lot of discussion about what a value is, and how it’s different from a belief or a personality trait.

Movember Stories

Finished my first week of the new job, and it’s pretty amazing.

The whole week hasn’t been sunshine and roses, but most of it has. I played at the Maxwell’s movember show on Friday night, and yesterday performed at the Kitchener Farmer’s Market for Movember for kids, so it’s been a good week for events. That’s my week in a nutshell. New job, events, things. I also have another picture of myself with a terrible moustache. And a story. Go past the jump to learn about why Movember is important.
