(2023-08-24) It's been a minute --------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello again. It's been a while since I last posted. I don't have a good reason for that, but I guess like most people the amount of free time I have ebbs and flows. I'd originally started writing this entry on 2023-07-15, but them's the breaks. In about 2 weeks my son will be starting high school. I know this is a momentous event in his life, he is no longer a little kid (in his eyes at least) and is growing up. For some reason I expected that I would feel different, maybe feeling the cold hands of death approaching as my offspring ages and needs me less and less. But no, I still feel exactly the same. Maybe it just hasn't hit me yet. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
