Excuses, excuses . . . .
With this year’s RIJF approaching I was hoping to do a whole lot of posting, with lots of new material and some in-depth “reportage” on the upcoming festival activities, including my earlier mentioned “series” on my plans during the fest. Well, clearly that was not fated to be this year. There’s my day job and the new business that my wife and I are starting (which apparently has become my second job). Additionally, my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary was on the 3rd of this month, in SE Kansas (from where my post last Wednesday originated). I have been planning and working on that for months now. My parents live in a small town of about 2,500 souls and have not found the wonders of broadband Internet access. I found it difficult to compose and post without getting booted off their dialup (not to mention the need to use the computer for last minute adjustments and additions to the PowerPoint slideshow that I was putting together for the reception). We returned home on Tuesday morning (around 1 a.m) and I returned to the day job a few hours later. Sorry to have let you all down…those of you that care (there’s got to be one or two of you….hopefully?). I’m going to try to make up for it somewhat in the next few days before the fest, so look out….
