If I
have retained any followers of this travel blog after such a lengthy time
between entries I must consider myself fortunate and I thank you all for
returning to this little eddy in the wide world web. I’m actually embarrassed
that I have not been more diligent in reporting on Team VFH’s antics this past
summer which according to the calendar is now a distant memory.
Our
time in Eden is fleeting and one must grasp each opportunity and live each day
fully. Sadly I am guilty of not abiding
by this basic tenet.
‘Why!?’
You may ask.
Well, I
could make up elaborate excuses. I can tell you I recently escaped from
Somalian pirates after they boarded by yacht and held me for ransom for months
without access to the internet.
I can
tell you that as a die-hard NY Football Giants fan I have been deeply mired in
a malaise throughout their six game losing streak and only now after two wins
has my head begun to clear enough to consider writing.
I can
tell you that work and the commuting to my jobs has been so demanding of me
that I have had little time but to shit, shower, shave and eat before hurtling
out the door to the next gig, even though in the past I have managed to
complete two novels with the same vociferous, unabated work schedule.
I can
tell you there was nothing worthy to chronicle here on the blog, that I have
spent most of the past months leading effectively a hermit’s existence.
All of
it is untrue…well maybe not the NY Giants part.
I will tell
you that Team VFH’s expansive trip to South Carolina this past summer was so
calming and relaxing that to this very day I am still in the clutches of
serenity and given to sloth, which is very true.
Yes, I
have been very lazy. I am embarrassed. It’s not much of an excuse, and, to simply blame it on South Carolina and the fun times we enjoyed there is an invertebrate
shifting from the real culprit. To explain my laziness away and assess blame
elsewhere is wrong and soon, hopefully very soon, I’ll get into the swing of things.
Come
back would you?
