Mr. MooDog has rightly observed that I haven't posted anything in over a month here.
I have actually thought about writing, but just haven't gotten around to doing it. Guilt has been building, and now it's about time I started spilling my guts. I'll work on that -- a little bit at a time.
Six months ago I talked to my boss at work and told him I wanted to leave and start my own company. I'm still working there, trying to wrap up one last project before I'm completely out. At this point I am working there 4 days a week and spending nights and weekends on my other stuff. I'll write more about exactly what I am doing with my new company later -- so far so good. So the “peering over the ledge“ metaphor is turning out to be more like para-sailing. I'm somewhat flying, but not really yet. Soon, soon.
Family is keeping me pretty busy. I have a son graduating from high school tomorrow. I have an almost-one-year-old granddaughter. My daugher-in-law just broke her leg in three places yesterday. My youngest daughter just turned 16, so it's driver's license time. My son Nathan just returned from his 2-year church mission last month. He is getting ready to go to college as soon as we get back from our cruise next month. Anniversary. Mother's Day. Whew!
I saw Star Wars the day after it hit the theaters. My take -- I liked it! I don't care what Rory says. Rory's writing style is hilariously entertaining. But hey -- it's Star Wars. It is nothing more than what Mr. Lucas wanted -- a Buck Roger's style modern day space opera. Yes it's hokey in many ways. Yes the dialog is juvenile. But I wouldn't change much. It was every bit as good as all the others. I plan on seeing it again.
Ok, I actually posted something. That wasn't so bad. I'll do it again soon. Promise.
