I’ve taken a brief hiatus from posting, and I wanted to share why.

About three weeks ago, my father passed away after a long and extremely painful illness. It caused him a lot of pain, and it was also very hard on his loved ones. Last week, my brother visited me, and we spent a lot of time getting my dad’s affairs in order. We lost my mom six years ago, so we had to handle, for the final time, the remains of my parents, along with a lot of other business.

We have possessions to sort through, a few things to keep, an estate sale, and ultimately the sale of the family home. All of this has been going on, and as you might expect, it has gotten in the way of writing.

I’ve drafted a couple of other posts, and I’ll start working on them in the next couple of days. I hope to be back to my normal pace of writing things that are hopefully interesting and thought-provoking for all of you.
