My Thanks -

I have to thank a couple of people for getting me started on this. First, my darling wife, for giving me the confidence to send my writing to our local paper.
Then to our friend Megan, who kept bugging me to show my 'voice' to others.
Finally, to editor & publisher, Darryl Mills, for letting me take up space in his paper. I don't think he knew what he was getting into.
It's all their fault...

So much for keeping up...

Okay, who made the time go by so quickly already? We got the tree down and back into the garage just after New Year's, vacuumed the carpet and today I look at the calendar and apparently, it's now January 16th.
I thought there was a rule that time only sped up on your weekends and/or holidays, or the two weeks prior to school starting. That's the way I remember it, anyway.


I'm looking at my desk and see that work has been done, so I know time has passed somewhat productively. I think.

New Year and all that goes with it...

A gentle and relaxed start to 2011 so far. I hope it continues to be zen-like for the next few weeks. Nothing like having three projects requested (i.e. dumped in your lap at the last minute) just before Christmas to ramp up the excitement!


I can't see the Zen state happening though. As I sit here and try to make this post somewhat legible, the calendar on my wall keep sneaking into my peripheral vision, mocking me. School starting for two out of three, appointments in a few days, deadlines looming and seminars to create - the usual things I try to ignore until the reminder on my phone goes off. It's invigorating to have the adrenaline rush through your body when you realize you have three days of work to do in one day, don't you think?


Possibilities are still endless and I guess that's what keeps me going. The chance to learn more and experience new things will forever be my downfall and my inspiration. So for those of you that think I'm crazy, you may be right.


Fun, isn't it?
