So much has happened.

I had recently started a different blog, but for some reason came back to check this one and was hit hard by the last post.

As I said, so much has happened since the last post. The biggest change occured in September when I got the call that my Dad had passed away. It was as big a shock as I have ever experienced and the dullness was suddenly punctured by reading my last post.

In many ways, I still feel some responsibility for his passing. He had spent the prior week in a nursing home and I had planned a business trip out to California that was to include a stop to see him as well.

He was so looking forward to seeing me that I think he kind of "forced" his way back him in anticipation of my coming. Unfortunately, he had a heart attack the night before my coming.

In many ways, my life has been a gigantic blur since then. And it has also given me thought to not only how I am living my life, but if I am happy in my current pursuits. The first question I am somewhat comfortable with at this point in my journey.

The second question is one that I wrestle with daily (sometimes it seems every minute has some thought of it). Then I try to base that with the thought that maybe I am just having a mid-life crisis. So which is it? I would like to know.

Enough for now. Perhaps, I should be revisiting this blog a bit more.
