Hello, Again!

Hello to anyone who may still be stopping by here to see if I'm alive. Sorry for the long silence but life . . . well, life has been happening, I guess.

I will explain . . . no, there is no time. I will sum up:

1. I became a vegetarian (lost 25 lbs. so far!)
2. Work exploded (Went into major stress meltdown)
3. I went camping for a week (saw many bears up close!)
4. I was rear-ended in my car (completely totalled, but I wasn't hurt.)
5. The Wife and I almost divorced
6. The Wife and I made up
7. I gave The Wife a hicky (first one in 15+ years!)
8. Went to a family reunion
9. Went to a funeral
10. Got to some minor work on the house
11. Saw an 18-wheeler run over a honda civic (while talking to the cop about MY accident!)
12. Walked ten feet behind a Doe and her fawn for nearly a half-mile
13. Shot some black-powder muskets
14. Swam in a mountain lake and saw stars so bright they defy description
15. Had a long conversation with my boy about his future (He wants a Navy career)
16. I lost $1,000 dollars on a kitchen table return and bought a new one
17. I bought a 42" plasma TV
18. I'm going out tonight to buy a new vehicle
19. I got sunburn on top of my bald head (OUCH!)
20. I've changed inside myself somehow (not sure how yet but I am a different person than I was just a few short weeks ago.)

So, there's where I've been in a nutshell. I haven't written a word in a month but that's okay. I want to get back to writing but the pressure of: "I have to do it, time's running out on me!" seems to have faded away (for the moment, anyway) and I'm cool with that. I intend to write and to keep this blog going, but -as I said earlier- Life happens.

Later!
