My apologies for the lack of posting. Rather than offer the usual (yet very valid) excuses, I ‘d rather explain what I’ve been up to:
* I voted.
Early voting began last Saturday and went ahead and participated in the process. Nevada’s new e-voting machines are user-friendly and easy to use. Hud has more on the process, as he also took the time to vote early.
I probably won’t be blogging much about the presidential elections for the next 2 weeks, save for liveblogging the Southern Nevada election results come Nov. 2. Of course, this may change as events warrant.
* I’ve been busy making my house a home.
Contrary to unpopular opinion, I do not sit in front of my hand-built home PC in pajamas blogging all day. I like going outside, too.
The early fall weather has been nice, and being outdoors taking it all in was an option that simply couldn’t be passed up. While I was at it, I repaired the lighting in my kitchen, hanged some paintings, and bought new furniture for the living room.
Until yesterday, I’ve never owned any new furniture, as I’ve either made do with secondhand items or month-to-month rentals. When I bought the house, it was furnished with some early ’80s relics from the previous owner. Since then, the two mismatched sofas have shown (and felt) their age, and it was time to have the two decommissioned and replaced with a leather sectional sofa and recliner.
* I’ve been reading.
Besides reading other blogs, I’ve been hitting the books again. Not just the technical fare, but catching up on a stack of Sci-Fi/Fantasy stuff.
There’s more to the long list of Things Done While Not Blogging that I could add here, but I shouldn’t waste further time going in detail, other than say that more postings will come soon (time permitting). Also, I’m looking for a like-minded guest blogger or two who wouldn’t mind helping out (e-mail me in confidence if you’re interested).
Thank you, dear reader, for your continued patronage (as well as your continued patience and understanding). The blog will continue on, one posting at a time.
