Time

Darn it! Just when I thought I was going to start making time to post regularly life got in the way…again. Life is funny that way. You make a mental note, or even better, you make a physical reminder to do something and then something more important comes up. I had this grand plan to become this authoritative blogger that lots of people checked out at least once a week. I never got around to figuring out what exactly I was going to be an “authority” on, but never mind the details. Oh yeah. I was going to plug in a few RSS feeds, update my links section, and add some pictures and videos…the whole 9 yards. As you can see, it has been about a month since my last post and a month since those dreams crashed upon the rocky shores of Life Landing. So here I sit, trying to look back and what exactly it was that sidetracked me and I cannot for the life of me remember.

I suppose I could blame it on work. But then, I leave for work at 7 am and get home around 7 pm (12 hours gone) so what about the other 12 hours. Well from about 7pm to about 8pm (1 hour) I am usually eating and catching up with the wife. No problem, I still have about 11 hours to write. Then, from about 8 pm to about 10 pm I am usually playing with the boys or on a random night watching one of the few TV programs I watch (2 hours). So that leaves me 9 hours. Oh…wait. I forgot about sleep. Ok…from 10 pm - 5:30am I sleep (7.5 hours), and from 5:30-6am I read (usually the Good Book) and from 6 to 7 I get dressed. No more hours left!

Am I supposed to keep this up until I retire?! What happened to ALL of my time? It was just the other day that I had extra time to do things like write and read and work out and play a game or two. No more. When did I get so busy? Maybe one of these days I will have some free time. Of course, by then, I won’t have any idea what to do with that time.
