Long Time

I know, it's been a long time since I updated this blog. It's not even that I haven't had time to sit at the keyboard and write. It's just that, when I do, I'm usually writing something else. Like the book I just published, called Voices On Fiverr, a little e-book about buying and selling voiceover services on the freelancer's site Fiverr.com.

Home life was quite hectic until just this week, when Fall sports wrapped up. I don't know if there will be any winter sports. Skiing and the like are too expensive, and neither of my sons seems interested in basketball this season. I think they'd like a break from the schedule, which left little time for anything but practice and homework.

This week we're getting ready for a trip to southern Massachusetts, to camp on a friends property. We're taking the trailer on its first highway trip, which is a little nerve-wracking, but I think it will perform just fine. This will be the last camping trip until Spring.

Now that things are settling down a little, although I do have the usual house projects to continue working on (even outdoor ones, until serious snow comes), I plan to do a lot more writing, and especially songwriting.

If you haven't heard all of my songs, be sure to check them out on SoundCloud. I'll have more coming soon. And before too long, as soon as I find a place to shoot, I'll be putting up videos of myself singing my own songs on YouTube. I don't know if anyone really wants to see this old balding guy with glasses singing, but YouTube has a bigger audience than SoundCloud, and so I think I need to give it a try.

Meanwhile, life in New Hampshire goes on. The gorgeous fall foliage will soon turn to bare branches, followed by snow that needs to be shoveled and thrown.

So I'd better get to work!

Skipping Pictures

You've seen a few repeat pictures on the site lately, and I have only one excuse: sickness. Nothing serious, just some little virus that produces sore throats, runny noses, and a bit of a cough. But there's a funny thing about being sick: nothing anyone is doing is particularly photogenic.

We're all recovering, and there will be more visually interesting activities comings up, I assure you. As we feel better, we'll be resuming work on the trailer and the deck, and the kids will get back to sports and such. Karen and I have a few fun side trips planned for her days off while the weather is still nice.

And sometime in the near future there will be the usual pictures related to the weather.

But if you don't mind, I'd rather not think about that just yet.
