It’s already mid-September, and this is only my third blog entry of 2006. I don’t find this surprising, exactly, but it seems a rather succinct summary of whats been happening in my life.

In a word, work. I won’t say its all consuming, as I do have personal time, and treasure it. But somehow, it seems to have cast a stain on everything. I enjoy my job, and my career, but I find it difficult to leave for more than a weekend. There are so many things requiring attention; I often liken it to herding cats. Perhaps a more apt description of how I view it would be spinning plates. Regardless of what I may think it is possible, if difficult, to set things so that I can go away for a break. And I think its past time for me to take one.

That’s not to say there have been no happenings in my life. I now have a nephew. I did have a brief, enjoyable, but sadly unsuccessful fling with romance over the summer. And I’ve rearranged my life (largely dietarily) and as a result have lost a substantial bit of weight.

Going forward, fall is as ever my favorite season. Something about the bite in the air quickens my pulse, and leaves me feeling alive. Let’s see if I can’t do something with that.

Cheers.
