Back at the Keyboard

OK, now that my official retirement date of 11/11/11 has come and gone, this year's ten-day Deer Camp is history, and my new retired but working part-time life is settling down, I hereby swear that this blog will definitely receive more attention than it has over the past few weeks.

How did I ever have time to work?
I never thought I'd hear those words coming from my mouth, or fingertips, but there you have it.

Lots has been going on with all these changes, but that only serves to offer more topics of discussion for this tiny piece of the Internet. I plan to take full advantage of the wonderful freedom it affords this old guy. For those of you who've been checking in from time to time...Thank You. I promise you'll have many new posts from this point on.

So, there's a brief update just to be sure you know I haven't traveled off into the wild blue yonder. More to follow and very soon. Stay tuned y'all.

Transition

It's hard to believe I'm already well into week two of my changeover from the work-a-day life into semi-retirement, but here I am. Even with the added time available to each day's activity, I find it is a bit difficult to settle into this new and vastly different routine.

I'm not complaining, mind you, I'm thoroughly enjoying this new freedom and I know things will settle down in time, but I know I can do a better job of time management as these days go by. My apologies for neglecting this blog during this period, too. I will do a better job of posting in time...promise.

Right now, the excitement and anticipation of our annual trek north to Deer Camp is at the forefront of my mind and my daily activity. Tomorrow the truck will be packed and be pointed north to another wonderful time of fellowship with my two sons. Without WiFi availability, however, another post will have to wait until I return in ten days. I'm sure I'll have many photos, stories and experiences to share at that point.

For now, y'all take care until my return to "civilization".
