Part of the reason that I needed a deadline of January 5th was that the month of January is a tough one for me. Following on Christmas and New Year’s Day, I have the birthday of my triplets, which is a week-long challenge to schedule parties and visits. Then is my mother in law’s birthday, then my mother’s, and finally my wife’s at the end of the month.

So I haven’t done any work in the shop since my last post here. It may be February before I make any more progress, but hope springs eternal. I do have a 4-day weekend coming up this week, so I’m hoping for the best. And February brings a new fiscal year at work, which means a new raft of vacation days that I may use for more frequent 4-day weekends this year. Still have to talk that idea over with SWMBO (she who must be obeyed). Just kidding, I couldn’t ask for a cooler spouse. And I might get into trouble if I did. Kidding, again!

So I’m hoping for something interesting to talk about later this week, but I’m not holding my breath just yet.

I am also getting ready to enable blog updating via email so I can accomplish this from my workplace on my lunch hour.

For some reason, I can’t access my own site from my workplace. I think there is a DNS issue at my office. But, how does one ask about access to one’s personal blog site and not have it look like you’re trying to waste time at work? So I let it be.

More to come, I hope!

Sorry about that.  It became easy to forget about this nascent effort once school began for the kids, and then the inevitable illnesses came.  And they only spared my wife, but that’s OK.  Couple all of that with some tight deadlines at work, and here we are 63 days later!

So, I’m not giving up on this, and I hope to find my rhythm again on this.
