long time, no write…

Sure has been a while since my last post. I feel like that friend who won’t return your voicemails. Most nights, I would stare at the blank page on my computer struggling to come up with anything to write. I was overcome with bloggers block. Sadly, I couldn’t come up with any topic or story to share. It got so bad that I decided to close out my browser last week and avoid signing back into this site until I got my act back together. If I couldn’t see the site and the missing new posts, then I wouldn’t have to face my problem. But after avoiding the blog for several weeks now, I am back. I am ready to overcome this struggle. But I plan to take it easy. You do not want to rush back into things and risk falling back into the small trap that you were trying to avoid in the first place.

Let me start out by catching you up on my life and the past few weeks. My friend, Robert, came up to visit over Memorial Day weekend. We rang the liberty bell, ate cheese steaks, walked at least 15 miles, waited 4 hours to see Star Trek at the iMax, and basically partied like it was 1999. Last weekend, I traveled down to South Carolina to enjoy some time with the family. That time together consisted of good barbeque, a lot of Nintendo Wii tennis and boxing, late night reading while everyone else was sleeping, and visiting the Grandma. Back to back great weekends. This past week couldn’t really even compare. I ending up nursing an annoying cough and avoiding my triathlon training all week. Good times.

This week, I prepare for another adventure as I travel over to Arizona for work/play. Someone that works for me is celebrating their ten-year anniversary this weekend and it is up to me to ensure that he gets the proper attention. Balloons have been ordered, the dancing clown is booked, and the cake is being prepared. Well, maybe the clown isn’t coming but it still should be a great time for all. After I wow the crowd over with my public speaking skills and my witty presentation, I will leave the office to join my Arizona friends for a great weekend. A weekend that includes floating down the salt river (you might want to read my previous post about the salt river). Following that trip, I return for a few days only to get back on a plane for Boston for a friend’s wedding in Vermont. Crazy times.
