Wow. Talk about spread thin.

No posts here in close to 3 months! I should be ashamed, but I’m not.

In the world of Facebook, Twitter, our Ning forum, heck I’ve even played with Google Wave – not to mention my ‘real job,’ which includes fending off the anonymous nasty comment posters at KTVZ.COM – who needs to blog any more?

But I shouldn’t go so long without sharing. So let’s see how the pic I posted at Facebook looks – of the mean ol’ storm laughing at us as it approached (spotting things in the clouds is as old as man – but from space is funner!;-)

Face in clouds
Is it a friendly face or scary? You decide!

Just got done shoveling a couple inches of crusty snow. Have lost roughly 10-15 lbs. since a troubling July health screening. Have had, um, financial difficulties at home, but lots to be thankful for this Thanksgiving – I and my wife both employed, in decent health, still holding onto our home, unlike so many folks who don’t deserve the crud thrown their way about ‘buying a house they couldn’t afford.’ Whose to blame for the mass delusion?

Oh, and I got a new PC last month! I wrote previously about blowing a hole in my 4-year-old HP PC’s wireless keyboard. Years earlier, the on-button broke, and had been jerry-rigged and hotglue-duct taped back in place. One day, it got stuck. Again. Argh! And my kind sis-in-law Dianne helped make an upgrade to a new, 64-bit HP PC happen. I don’t miss the wireless keyboard and all those batteries. It’s spiffy – and upgrade to Windows 7 went well, but now, alas, IE 8 locks up on occasion again, and after settling back in, boot-up still takes forever. Oh well;-)

Anyway, hope this finds you all well and ready for more snow and holiday stress. Oh yeah, I’m signed up for stress management newsletters from that great site, About.com. Breathing is key, as is not blowing up among co-workers. I’m still working on it as my mentor Chuck Heil back in the Media Production Center at John Adams HS had on a lapel button, PBPGINFWMY (Please Be Patient, God Is Not Finished With Me Yet.)
