Has it really been over a month since I last posted here? With all that’s been going on, is doesn’t feel like it. Then again, date stamps don’t lie, do they? It really has been over thirty days. What in the world could possibly keep me from updating for so long?
In short, anything and everything. It’s been a very hectic month for the Russell family in many ways, all of which conspired to keep me from getting much in the way of work done here, or on any of my other blogs and if you will indulge me for a moment, I’ll fill you in on some of the highlights.
Firstly, for those of you who aren’t aware through twitter or my food and recipe blog, we’re gearing up for a move. This is a military move, and one of the more complicated types. My wife is moving to Incirlik Air force Base in Turkey and my son and I are moving to northern California to be close to family.
The logistics of a move like this are staggering, not only from a family standpoint, but from a paperwork standpoint. Much of my time has been spent making sure that everything I can do to help my wife get things in order has been done. After that it’s taking care of my son. In what little free time I have left, I’ve been handling the paperwork for the home we’re buying.
If there’s anything left after all of that, I’m usually content to spend my time mowing down hordes of parasitic alien beings in Resistance and Resistance II: Fall of Man, or creating and destroying cities in Civilization IV. Getting all technical minded just hasn’t been on my high priority list after a day of pushing to get things done.
I’m happy to announce that almost al of the paperwork side of the move is done. On my side at least, there is little to be done now except wait for the movers to come and pack our things. We should get word on the house sometime today or tomorrow. If we got it, great! If not, I’ll rent in California. Either way, there won’t be much to worry about.
Now I can get back to work. I’ve been looking forward to it for weeks.
Over the course of the next month much of my blogging will be done from locations other than my trusty Mac, which will be packed for moving by Father’s Day. I can’t promise that I’ll be posting in great length, but blogging from a hotel room or while I watch the kid play in the park will pretty much guarantee a heavy posting frequency.
In any event, this station is now resuming its regularly scheduled programming. We apologize for any inconvenience that our technical difficulties may have caused our viewers.
Peace. I’m out.
