I'm not the kind of guy to make excuses
when I've been negligent in my blogging duties, but, hey, I've been
busy. In fact I've been so negligent, I suspect there are some
followers who have given up on me. I'd like to say that I will double
my efforts and do better, but that's probably not the case.
Although I haven't been traveling the
past two or three weeks, I have been covered up with work: paying and
otherwise. Don't feel neglected. I haven't hit a lick on my upstairs
renovation project in more than two months.
Most of last week was occupied working
and playing at Greenville's Euphoria. That was a four-day weekend
affair where I shot about 150 photos and 175 video clips. Following
that weekend, I spent four days retouching photos and editing
together a 3-minute-20-second video, which turned out pretty damn
good, if I say so myself.
Thinking I was basically going to coast
through this past weekend, I was unpleasantly surprised by a
malfunctioning toilet in my guest bath. This normally wouldn't take
on emergency status, but my master bath is part of the unfinished
upstairs renovation. I'm only human; I need to perform my biological
imperatives somewhere. The nearest gas station rest room is a half mile away.
I don't have the time to recount the
Biblical proportions of the Chinese fire drill replacing the commode has become, but
what would have normally been a 30-to-60 minute job in a newer home
has already sucked up nearly six hours of my time and the new toilet
isn't even out of the box yet. Did I mention the five trips to Home
Depot? I'll go into more detail once this life-changing challenge is
completed or I'm dead, whichever comes first.
I'm back on the road this week; so, not
much will get done. In the meantime, I have a big box loaded with
commode in the middle of my kitchen and an upstairs bath that the
only thing that does really function is the toilet.
What's happened to my life?
