CD Sales

Thank you, thank you, thank you to those who've already ordered my new CD "For The Beauty." CD sales have been brisk considering quite a few PC users have been unable to hear the samples. See the journal from 7:01pm for an explanation.

Shortly after I started sending out the new CD announcements to my email list yesterday morning, orders and inquiries began coming in. It is going to take a few days to get back with everyone so please be patient with me.

This very welcome onslaught of email reminded me again that I need a better way of sorting, cataloging and tracking my mail. I've been using Apple's built-in mail, calendar and address book applications since I switched completely to the OS-X operating system last year. Prior to that, I'd used Microsoft's Office package with Entourage handling contacts, mail, to-do's calendar's etc. It has much tighter integration of data and many options for batch processing changes. I decided now would be as good a time as any to switch back so I changed horses mid stream and it has taken a few hours to get all my data converted to Office 2004.

In the middle of doing all this Angie and I had to keep an appointment with our accountant and finally get our 2003 taxes completed! It has been a busy couple of days.

Those of you who ordered CDs should be receiving them in the mail by the end of next week. After we get through this original rush, I'm sure we'll be able to get back to our practice of getting CDs in the mail within 24 hours (usually the same day) of receiving the order.
