Well, I'm not going to lie. Today has been a considerably better day. The plumbing is all fixed (that was quick!) and the plumber was confident he could get the home warranty company to cover it, so we ended up not having to pay anything for his part. That is awesome.
I just got back from a meeting with our manager in Caedmon's, going over budgets, schedules and personnel for the recording of the new album. I'm very excited about what we're coming up with and it's going to be a fantastic process. Faithful readers of Andyo.com will be the first to know everything I'm allowed to tell, of course.
Got a call from Kenny today. He's feeling a lot better and Eileen knows he's there now, so he's going to get somebody to take him to see her soon. So glad to hear that. Thank you all for praying. For all of us.
I've been storing up photos like cookies in the proverbial jar above the fridge and now it's time to let them loose.

First up, here are four out of 5 of The Normals on New Years Eve. It's been a few years since this many of us have been together. Of course there was talk of more recording and a few shows. We'll see what we can do this time.
Also, Cason and our friend Will are going to be on Letterman tonight playing with Mat Kearney. Make sure you tune in and catch it.

Here I am enjoying the tour of the Ryman Auditorium the day of Andrew Peterson's Christmas show.

Here's Pappy himself, Mr. Eric Peters, enjoying the tour as well.

Mr. Caleb Chancey, photographer, took these two shots of me last week. This is the "Oh NO!! Not another singer/songwriter in front of a brick wall!!" shot.

The "Maybe they won't see me if I hide behind my sweater" shot.

My brother Rob and little Sadie, a couple weeks ago.

Ella and Alison, who is a great mom.

Ella with a crayon up her nose. Un-posed.

This and the next shot were taken back to back, also unplanned.

Think she's my kid?

Sweet little Sadie...

SWEET! Praise God.
And I hardly recognized Ella - she has HAIR! :-)
glad to hear today was better.....and about the possibility of new Normals goodness.....
I love that 'Oh No!' face by both you and Ella!
Great post, man. I love the pic of Ella with the shocked look.
This is all very good to see and hear!
During this evening's birthday bash my buddy Dave and I coined a new term you should know about:
pegger (n): Any get-together involving large quantities of music from members and friends of the Square Peg Alliance.
That 4/5ths Normals picture brings a figurative tear to my figurative eye!
Cason held down the back for Kearney tonight rather well. Gotta love every camera shot except for one where you could plainly see him....
yeah they did that on the conan show too. Stinking.
PLEASE, PLEASE have a Normals reunion something-or-other, even if you just do like dc talk and re-release everything you've done before.
Think she's your kid? Well I think we ought to have a picture of you with a crayon up your nose just to be sure.
Just kidding.
Brilliant!
Hey,
I recorded some tunes with Nick this weekend. Check them out http://www.myspace.com/jarredmccauley" rel="nofollow">here and tell me what you think.
Sorry to hear about the water leak/flood.
Jarred
Great pictures.
And that is great news about the plumbing. I can imagine the stress this week brought forth is now slowly exiting the body.
Have a great weekend.
