This Blog Is Up To Date

Well I finally got the old blog up to date. It took a blog marathon to make it happen. And now I'm just about done. I still have one more post to finish--this one that you're reading right now--which is for the month of May, or as much of it that's gone by. I try to do at least one post a month, sometimes more if that's the way things go.

When you love to write, any excuse to write is always good. In the last two days, I have written, edited, and posted many thousands of words to this blog. I think about ten thousand words. I know that's a good bit, but don't worry. You can take your time. I posted them and now they are there. You'll meet them if you read on. Sorry for the delay. These things happen sometimes. And thanks to Chris, Debbie, Kyle, and Kimberly for checking this blog often and keeping after me to update it.

Yes, it feels good to be up to date. I guess it's kind of like when your email inbox is empty or very small (how I like to keep it). It's a temporary satisfaction, but it still feels good. It's all temporary when you get down to it, I guess, so I shouldn't worry too much.

So the blog is up to date and now it's May. Wow, May--that's four (almost five) months into 2010. And it's also one year and four months into President Obama's term. That reminds me: in my lazy blog days, I've forgotten to delve into the Big Issues of health care reform and the financial regulations. But I'm not ready to get into all that right now, so I won't.

May is shaping up to be a pretty solid writing month. I'm closer to my publishing goals for book 1. I'm ready to continue on with book 2. I'm staying busy with full-time writing and some part-time work at a local bike shop. My numbers are going up (that means more money--it's bike tour lingo from Chris and Kyle), so that means more travels, eventually. For now, it's family and friend time, writing time, and a bit of money-making time.

So thanks again for stopping by. I appreciate it.

Have fun, and travel safe.
