Six Months

Wow! Who saw this coming?

It is a bit more than six months since we started Two Sides to the Story; six months since we did our first episode in front of a live audience at Exploration Commons. We had so much fun that day. I don’t want to speak for Lory, but I know that night exceeded my expectations. We didn’t really know what we were doing; we just jumped in and started swimming. Credit to Lory – She jumped in and I followed along.

We had hope. We had ideas, but we didn’t know where we were going. We didn’t know what was ahead. How could we have known? Who could have known?

Behind us – Twenty-five episodes and a pile of blog posts. Patti Callahan and John Waters. I love Patti Callahan. John Waters! I won’t even pretend that I thought Lory and I would interview John Waters. Yet, there we were.

Behind us – Fun talks with library branch manager Heather Owings and Tech Angel Joe Dimaggio. Getting to know the owners of our three bookstores in Carroll County. Touring Penguin Random House with our friend Annette Danek. Lory’s trip to Virginia and her adventure. Our bookstore trips.

Behind us – Growing technical proficiency, mostly Lory.

Behind us – Book adventures; one after another.

The first six months of Two Sides has been so much more than I imagined. Ahead? Good things, I think. I know that I am looking forward to it. Excited to see what is coming our way!

For listeners – Lots more coming; stay tuned for our first anniversary episode coming in October.
