Wow! You are busy! And that isn't even including your non-CH stuff. Crazy.

Glad to hear CC is mostly social for you this year, and wish like hell I could be there to enjoy it. It'd be nice to spend time with you when you aren't stressing about jumping from one horror panel to the next!

Geez, that's an incredible list. That's gotta feel good to have so much to do -- you've always seemed happiest when you don't have time to really sit around and let your head bounce around and give free reign to all your worries.

Hope it all works out totally awesome for you, man.
