It’s been so long since I’ve updated here that I half expected the site to have been taken down.

A big thanks to my benefactor for leaving it in place!

When last we met our intrepid adventurer, he had spun a tale of ambiguity and things that come forth from the mouth of babes.

As we approach nine months of silence, we find a number of new items consuming our subject.

First, as always, my family.  There has been quite a bit of turmoil and joy at the same time in my family this year.  So far, it has seen a large amount of strife with my father, followed by an awkward reconciliation [which has worked out very well, if not slowly], my wife being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, my step mother undergoing treatment for T-Cell Lymphoma [again] and the passing of two great people, my Aunt Alice and Uncle Albert.

Second, I have started back to school.  I want to finish my degree.  Of all the things I have not completed, this is the one thing that keeps nagging me.  I sure could use to save the money and I seriously doubt that a degree will affect my career. That said, it will be nice to finalize this and to get it done in Information Assurance and Security is just icing on the cake [this was not an option when I was going to school before].

Finally, surfing is still a large part of my life.  I love it.  It really helps me cope with the day to day drudgery of things.  I laugh more easily, find myself less flustered and all around enjoy spending time in the water.  The buddies that I have made as a side effect surfing have been great.  If you ever hear me sounding like the below, please feel free to club me.

I must admit that it feels odd to not be evangelizing something or having a specific topic.

Maybe next time. Hopefully it won’t be another nine months.
