missing records

and lots of them at that... months have passed since i started the new job and so many things have happened, blissfully positive milestones, frustrating challenges that, once resolved, were sweet highs... the juggling of responsibilities and solutions continues every day and next to nothing is mentioned here... there is the semi-rambling (but brief) daily blog that may have stretched a thousand or more entries past it's prime (any interest in reading six thousand entries to start catching up?... yes, i said start, those 6000+ are just the most recent incarnation of the daily blog that's been evolving for years (tic tic tic back in time cuz you know, it's relative in this blogging life, with a touch of bullsugar, or something like that... what what?)...

simply, it's been busy times... much work, but it's good to be the boss and have the freedom to choose the hours and tasks i do from moment to moment... much fun, especially softball as i feel very comfortable playing well these days, batting over .800 with an on-base percentage even higher consistently on all of my teams and pitching really comfortably as well so my teams as winning most of their games (four championships and one trip to a national world series in 2013) which is great for the ego but even better for the social life and even more importantly, for the body (cuz what good is any of it if the body dies, aye?... wouldn't be much of a record of a life then, would it?)... the car is cool, much praise and smiles, though the gasoline engine is still such a very flawed example of the sad suicidal tendencies of the human species, but that's another story)... much life, shared well, but still missing the coupling of a single monogamous partner, alas... perhaps i choose to be too rational (logical?) to accept the illusion (and perhaps delusion, for most) required to create such a relationship, but that dream is still the only dream i know (as someone once sang)... so with a wistful smile and wide-eyed giggle that only the innocence of youth understand, i thank you for your patience and hope you enjoyed the little catch up that finds it's way here...

saving lives, saving games, saving money (well, two out of three ain't bad, ya know?... hey, laughter maintains some semblance of sanity in the face of insanity, so stay the course and keep the perspective high)... that's the bulk of the record of a life, at least for now... feel free to reach out for more anyway you choose, as you wish, even... and may the smile of narf be with you :)
