I really apologize to those of you who used to read my blog regularly. I have been blogging really inconsistently (well not at all) since the school year started. While I realize that it is not much of an excuse considering how busy everyone is, I truly have not had the time to blog with the frequency to which I once did. Heck…I haven’t even been able to read blogs I love to read. I must say thank you to the subtle nudges that I have received in the last few weeks from my friends…calling me…emailing me… gently asking me to surface again. It feels good to be missed…I have missed all of you. Thanks for hanging in with me.

So I am back…back to blogging. I’m not sure it’ll be all that gratifying, though, because I’m mostly writing this entry to let y’all know that the blogging’s going to continue to be light here for the foreseeable future.

One of my reasons for starting this blog was to make the life of a single dad of three somewhat more transparent to the world at large: to give people a better sense of what goes on with my time, the challenges I face, what it’s like to be a single full time dad, and how I got here in the first place. Another reason, of course, was to connect with people outside my usual social universe. While I’ve no idea whether I really succeeded in helping people understand me, there’s no doubt that blogging has helped me meet and talk to some amazing people… thanks for being patient and always supporting…thanks for being here.

As it would be hard to review all the events that have occurred in my blogging sabbatical…I will try to summarize and catch you up. My journey over the last month has been a bit crazy…

·         School started. Three kids. All new schools. All new routines. I have to work remotely two days a week just to get it all done

·         I got a promotion at work. More responsibility. Some travel. Not much more $$.

·         My youngest started really verbalizing and acting out her emotions about her mother’s death. Back to grief counseling. Tomorrow she turns five, yet her emotions are like those of a three year old.

·         I met a woman…a really great, intelligent, sexy single mom of two…an engineer…the real deal…a keeper. So we are dating…exclusively.

All in all life has been good. I really can’t or won’t complain. Life is going at break neck pace and I am trying to keep it all together…without adding too much to the chaos.

I’ll be back… I miss sharing… I miss the fellowship.
