Eight Weeks

Eight weeks is a long time.

In eight weeks, you can walk to the post office hundreds of times. You can run for President and lose. You can retire from football and come back. It's longer than the Olympics and five percent of baseball season. It's an elephant's gestation period, the age of Eddie Murphy for his first HBO special, and all the time Magellan needed to circle the globe.*

Eight weeks is a short time, too.

In eight weeks, you can't grow corn. It's only eight Sundays and eight Saturdays. It's not a football season, and only half of an NFL season. It's less than most fall-time relationships. It's not enough time for birds to migrate, or Congress to get a good vacation. In eight weeks, I can't even grow a beard.**

So why the math lesson?

Because in approximately eight weeks, I'll have a new record out! And while details, sneak peeks, exclusive listens, press, shows, and plenty of hype will come between now and then, let's start with some biggies:

Thanks! Big ups to Miss Tamara McCray--she's the photo maestro.

Will you be releasing a hard copy too? or are you going all radiohead on us.

Chris Milam said...

Digital only, at least to start. I'm going 80% Radiohead on you. The remaining 20%:
1) Letting folks pay what they want
2) Acquiring a marching band

Looking forward to it!
