I owe an apology to my blog and to many other blogs as I've a rather absent parent and reader lately.  I've not been updating my blog on my normal regular basis nor have I been able to enjoy reading the blogs I use to frequent on a daily basis.

Why have I been such a absent parent to my own little blog?  TIME.  This simple four letter word is really one of the most intense, mysterious, and valued things in existence, and I never seem to have enough.  Work is still hell and I hate it more and more each day but that is another story other than it takes up so much of my TIME.  So I have 2 jobs plus a couple of side projects and travel and holidays (hope you Thanksgiving was awesome!) and just the stuff that daily life brings and for the first time in my life I can't fit it all into a single day.  Even though many of my days are 18 to 20 hours long (I'm not much of sleeper) I still run out of TIME.

So, I'm sorry little blog child of mine and to some of those wonderful blogs out there that I have a lot to catch up on.  I will do my best but if anyone has any great ideas about how to squeeze more hours into a day let me know.
