Holay!!! I can't believe it's been a month since I last posted something here and shared the goings-on of my life. There's no good reason to have been away for so long. I've been lazy, plain and simple. I've not been lazy in the sense of not doing anything at all in life; I simply haven't spent much time writing lately.
As one could imagine there's been a lot of activity that's taken place over the past month or so. I haven't spent much time on the road since getting back from visiting Dolly the last time. Most of my time has been spent working on the SDSU Festival of Cultures, which draws closer every day. It's still more than three months away, but it will be here before we know it.
Outside of work I've been spending a fair bit of time exercising at the SDSU Wellness Center, working out around the house, and playing drums. With the onset of winter weather I haven't been able to spend much time outdoors, so I've had to entertain myself with indoor activities. There have been a few things I've been able to do in the garage. Otherwise I've had to occupy myself with doing some home remodeling, working on drums and such, and reading in the house.
There are a few things coming upon the horizon as Christmas and New Year's get closer. Over the next few days I'm going to get as much work done so I'll be free to spend the next three weeks or so with Dolly in Wiky, South Dakota, and points beyond. I've also been looking after Dad and have been helping him get ready for his cataract surgery on Thursday. With any luck there will be no complications and Dad will be in and out of surgery within about 20 minutes. I really hope the surgery goes well, and the results will greatly improve Dad's quality of life.
In the meantime, there's little I can do but keep plugging away, do what I can to keep happy, and plan for the best future I can. There are times when I need help with that, especially keeping myself happy, but overall I'd say I'm doing the right things and am on the right path.
