I guess it’s obvious at this point that I am taking an extended blog break. Even though I had hinted about it for a while, I clung to the idea that I could post a couple of times a week and continue visiting other blogs. But that’s just not going to happen right now.
Thanks for all the [...]
Beginning today, I am officially on vacation!
I won’t be around the computer very much and I won’t be be posting anything this week except for a guest post at Two Write Hands on Wednesday and a prewritten Friday Five which will post automatically.
In the meantime, check up with me on Twitter and have a great week!
I Am Outta Here! I’ve hinted at it in the past but I’m serious now. I am officially done with blogging! Add FaceBook and Twitter to that! I’m just sick of it all. No one cares what I think anyway… most people just come here and leave comments because they want me to leave a comment [...]
I’d like to send out a big “thanks” to all those who have wished me a happy birthday here (and on Facebook and Twitter). And especially to my good friend Mona who posted this on her blog:

Rest in peace, Evel.
I give. New haircut:
Yeah, I’m still here. I thought I’d drop in and let everyone know what been going on:
First, last weekend was insanely busy. I got home around midnight on Friday then had the first of two day-long District Lay Speaking classes on Saturday - at 9:00 AM !!! The class was great though - interesting, informative, thought-provoking [...]
Something of an inadvertent blog slow-down here. Normal busyness plus Lay Speaking school going on the next two weekends.
I will return soon. Have a great weekend!
