I, like many others, have been guilty of neglecting my blog, and for that I apologize. I, like many others, have been very busy. However, some of my busyness has been directly related to travel, the supposed theme of this space, so the fact that nothing about any of it has been making an appearance here is just plain sad.
Some of the reason for the lack of postings here can be blamed on Facebook, where photos of my trips have been getting uploaded regularly. Most of the rest of it (other than laziness) can be blamed on Twitter, where it is so easy to post a snarky, here’s-what-I’m-doing-ain’t-it-great comment, that almost no thought need wander by my cerebral cortex. These things are too easy and writing a blog post usually takes some actual concentration.
The upshot of all this noise is that I’ll try to do better. I promise. I’ll try.

Anne and I traveled with 6 other people from our church to Hungary and Romania during the last third of October of 2008. We worked on several projects and were in a few different cities. We met a lot of wonderful people, drank excellent coffee wherever we went and sampled an amazing variety of goulash.
Photos from the trip are here

One of my favorite bands, Elbow, have won the Mercury Prize. It only took them 18 years.

It’s been far too long since this site was updated. Sorry about that.
We have been traveling a little, but not a whole lot. We drove up to KY and saw my mom and dad, who were taking some time away from the big city and visiting family. My mom had fallen while there and injured herself in a way that, fortunately, looked a lot worse than it hopefully was. We’re praying that there are no long term effects from it.
While there, we also visited the farm and I took a photo of the only really visible building on the property. It’s not in very good shape and looking at the photo makes me wonder whether the bales of hay stored inside might actually be what’s holding it upright.
The next weekend we traveled to Statesboro for Meg’s 24th birthday. She loves it there, but all I can think about when I’m in town is the Statesboro Blues song (The Allman Brothers version of course), because that would be my constant state of being if I had to do any significant time there.
