Obviously this blogging thing has been hit and miss, and that’s being incredibly generous.  Posting has been light, and interest from yours truly has been largely nonexistent.  Not that nothing has been going on – quite the contrary, actually.  Truth be told, I forgot I even had the blog for a while.  I suppose that’s a fair indicator of where this blog (and blogging) lie on my priority list.  That said, the thought of deleting the thing is something I’m not yet willing to do.  Maybe it’s my competition strength, or maybe I’m just stubborn.  Whatever. 

Anyway, in an effort to bring anyone who cares up to speed, here’s some updates from the recent months:

• We sold our house.  This is pretty much the biggest and best update I can offer.  Really.  Nearly one year on the market, and a complicated closing with last-minute drama to boot. 
• We’re taking a vacation in a week.  I’m looking forward to this for several reasons, the least of which involves the current temperature of our destination – highs in the mid-60’s, lows in the mid 50’s.  Quite a contrast from the 7-days-and-counting of 100+ temps we’ve been dealing with.  Bring on the jackets, I say.
• At work we hired two new people and they started two weeks ago.  They’re both excellent, and I consider myself fortunate to be able to work with people of their caliber. 

And there you have it – some of the highlights.  With that, here’s to trying to keep this ship from sinking.
