Long overdue update:

I now work as a “Specialist” for Verizon Wireless. We have since settled into our home and have about 1/2 of our boxes moved in. We had new floors put in, new sinks, new toilets, and fresh paint. I still have a list as long as my arm to catch up on if I ever hope of this place looking decent. Since we lost the best man I ever knew, we have been able to move on. I now kayak from time to time when I need to reconnect with myself, and have found love for chopping wood for our wood stove in winter. Last week was my wife’s birthday and we drove 4 hours into Portland to get her Costa Vida, her favorite, and check out the zoo. On our return, we found water damage under our new flooring in the master bath. A plumber is scheduled for tomorrow at 8AM.

I want to apologize for my absence and realize that it has caused a stagnation. I had many desires and opportunities to return, but never found it to be the right time. Finally, I believe I have found the right time and will make every effort I can to contribute and revive the site. I am on board and willing to take on tasks again. I have some catching up to do on the Featured Quest and need to re-learn some of the back end processes we changed prior to my absence. I’m open to feedback if you have any.

I also want to sincerely thank those that stayed the course and hung around despite how quiet the site got. Please help me by continuing your support.

Lastly, keep writing. This site is rich in history and is made for writers. I never want to see it die.
