[Editor's note: This "legacy" news article was kept from the old site, and re-linked for nostalgia. The "autobiography" idea was later scrapped.]

So far the new year is pretty much the same as the old year, but condensed.  Just over two weeks have passed and I find that, instead of being less busy, which was sort of the goal, I’m at least as busy as I was before.  That’s the way it goes, I guess.  I’ve had the incredible opportunity to spend more time with my family though, and that’s made it all worthwhile.  Nothing is more important to me than my wife and four kiddos.  I’d sacrifice everything to keep them all happy, safe and close to each other.  Life has a disturbing way of trying to disrupt the things we hold most precious, and my life has been no exception.  I’ll never give in, though, “come hell or high water.”

I’ve considered doing some auto-biographical work about my life over the last several years or so.  It’s certainly been an adventure, and I can’t say that it’s been an overwhelmingly pleasant one.  If nothing else, I’ve learned a great deal about “the way things work,” and a great deal about me.  Socrates said, “Know thyself.”  I believe that’s a journey I’ve been conscious of, more than ever before, in recent years.  At any rate, only if you’re interested, keep an eye on this page for a possible posting in the very near future.

In other news, I’m happy to say that “The Delivery”, once a short story, has begun to expand.  As previous readers of the site will recall, the story has been moved to the Stories section of the site.  Originally I hadn’t planned to put any of my updates online, but I’ve changed my mind.  The original version of the story is still here, as well as what has officially become “Chapter One.”  I’d love it if you read it and emailed me with your thoughts.
