First, my bad. Or, errr, my busy?
My apologies for not keeping up with the daily blogging. Where to start? It’s been exactly two months today that I quit the full-time newspaper business to pursue a long-time goal — to write a book and earn a master’s degree. And now that I’ve quit the 9-to-5 gig, I’m wondering: What took me so long! Time has been flying by as I catch up with life and do the things I was too busy to do when I was filling out a time card. Most of all, I’ve had time to spend with friends and family. Time I have not had in a long time, like the last 13 years I worked as a daily news reporter. The last week has been a busy one here at my home in Missoula. Some house guests just left today. And this morning I took Army Spc. Krystal Two Bulls, a member of my adopted Lakota family, to the airport. It’s July 4, Independence Day and Two Bulls is being deployed to Iraq. I was able to spend yesterday with her, time I might not otherwise have to spend. Tonight, I’ll be with friends and family up on the Flathead Reservation.
That said, I’ll roll into a regular blog schedule next week. I will, however, be offline again the week of July 20 with a long planned commitment.
Meanwhile, folks, have fun. Enjoy the day!
