I don’t remember the last time I took a week off from my blog.  This wasn’t planned, just a tidal wave of busy-ness overwhelming.

My wife just headed out of town to see her friend, and they’ll be meeting at her parents’ place in the mountains.  I’ll have the boys here this weekend, and I will still be extremely busy.  I’m hoping I can make it through.

The boys have gone through some changes in the last few months, and maybe this weekend will be a time I can refocus on them.  I’ve had the blessing of being in their midst much more than most fathers, but I’m in their midst much more than I am really with them and focused on them.  I can feel that pinging around that can happen, where you just knock down nail heads that stick up from time to time.  I just need some renewed intimacy with each of them.

All of my daily habits of time-wasting and meandering have evaporated over the last couple weeks.  No YouTube, no surfing, no poker, no TV, not much of anything but being diligent.  I am loving building something, and I really hope it stays on track.
