Blog Update

This was always a goofy personal blog where I rambled about whatever interested me and I've kinda abandoned it lately. For one, I started it when I felt like I had no voice and I since seem to have found my voice. For another, most of the bloggers I know are now on facebook and it's easier to just go look there for them. Most of us crosspost so you see the blog stuff on facebook anyway and I've just got out of the habit of blogging.

However, I know two or three people that aren't on facebook and the conversation has died off and I miss it so I thought I'd try and come back here. Besides, I like my header with the alien guy and if I don't visit here I don't get to see him.

Here's what's going on in my life. Warning, it's mostly depressing.

For one, my Dad died. My dad raised me and we were close and heartbreaking doesn't begin to describe it. It was lung cancer. It happened really fast. It was painful and awful for him and us too. Smoking kills. It's an awful death. I know you don't want to hear that but it's true. Stop before you've been smoking for thirty years.

For two, I'm going to be single again soon. I'm not really up to explaining all the reasons and circumstances. It's my fault as much as his.

For three, I'm going to be moving back home to Kansas as soon as I can figure out all the things I need to do to accomplish it, which is not really sad but is another stressful thing.

Me Me Me. I'm a tad self involved at the moment. I'll try to get around to other blogs and see how other people are doing, but at the moment, I kinda need to focus on this stuff.

I know you are just computer people, but you all have meant a lot to me over the years. Thank you for being out there.
