Shots Across The Bow

Long Time No Blog.

Wow. Where did the month of November go? I look over to the left and I see one of my slackest months ever.

First, don't worry about me; I'm fine. Better than fine, as a matter of fact. One of the reasons blogging has been so light is that my girlfriend is taking up a lot of my formerly free time.

And that's cool.

Even better, she's almost as much of a techno geek as I am, so you don't have to worry about me giving all this fame and fortune up forever. I will continue to blog and line up BlogFests. Sorry if I get anybodies hopes up on that regard.

Second, November was a very busy month for me, with a baby shower for my second grandchild, due in January, two Thanksgiving days, one early when my son and daughter came home, the Trans Siberian Orchestra concert, and a welcome home party for my mom. This comes after an Oct that included a 5 day Chicago business trip,followed immediately by an emergency business trip to Houston, where I taught a 24 hour HAZWOPER course in Spanish.

I don't speak Spanish.

On top of all that, I've picked up some extra work, which is taking up a ton of time. But hey, Christmas is coming and I need some cash, so the work is greatly appreciated. Well, maybe not the work, but the paycheck sure comes in handy.

Third, while I wish I could say that the lack of blogging is due to monstrous progress on my NaNoWriMo project, sadly, the word count is all too accurate.

On the plus side, I have made considerable progress towards putting new flooring in my library, a project I've been working on for almost two years now. And by "working on," I mean of course "totally neglecting in favor of other, more important things."

So never fear, new stuff will appear here.

Eventually.
