With a heavy heart.
If you follow my Twitter, you no doubt saw the news… My mother passed away unexpectedly on Thursday. So, for now, I’m on indefinite hiatus.
This is… especially hard because my Dad died a few years back. And my other parents (my in laws) before that.
The funeral is the week after next, and then I go into the annual madness of the Kitsap County Fair… So the hiatus will likely last at least through the end of August. I have a few editorial pieces I may work on as my head allows, but I make no promises.
Bear with me folks, it’s a rough time but I will be back despite all the crazy in my life. This blog, this community, is an important part of my life.
