I'll grow old - but I won't grow up.

What's happenin'?

I've been trying to think about what to write lately. I mean, it has been a damn long time -- so much has changed in the last 2 1/2 years that I'd hardly know where to begin. New jobs, new cars, new adventures, saying goodbye to old friends, making some new ones....

It's been a regular Circle of Life - and then some.

So instead of delving into the past, I thought I'd just move on, and keep my eyes on the virtual prize. I'll mention a few things here and there, but for the most part, why rehash ancient history? Besides, the older I get, the more I forget things, so details would be sketchy at best.

I will tell you this: The Lovely Mrs. B. and I are still happily a couple. Going on 16 years now. That's a good thing. We're still in Omaha, and although I'm now with a different company (my last joint? They can SUCK IT.), I'm still relatively happy being in this town. We've got a cat, a dog, a huge mortgage, two new cars, and a Disneyland trip in the near future.

I'm alive, I'm relatively healthy (all things considered), and I'm still a smartass.

See? Not much has changed, really.

So I will remain forward-thinking, and will enjoy the *now* instead of wallowing in the past. It's healthier, and easier to remember.

Blowin' off the dust...

So it dawned on me today that I haven't written anything on here in well over 2.5 years. In fact, I haven't written much of anything at all. No short stories, no blog posts, nada. Wow, do I ever suck, or what?

I really need to get back to writing something - anything. I've always got a zillion excuses why I can't / won't / don't. They'll all crap, I know that.

So today I make a vow to myself to bring back the good stuff, and write it down. Maybe it'll do me some good. Sure can't hurt.
