Been awhile

Life has been crazy. Life has been busy. Life has been crazy, busy, fucked and stupid.

I haven't given this blog as much attention as I should since I pulled my podcast blog  off of Mo'time to allow it more room to grow. At the same time I started a public media blog to promote my activities in the public forum, and I began a forum for the podcast  All this is on top of my Company blog . Juggling 4 blogs, work, life, an expanding smallholding and the livestock on it, selling our home and managing the vast amounts of bureaucracy which all of  the above entails has left me little time to give any one thing the attention it deserves.

I am on the ferry again, at the moment. It seem to be the only time I have the peace of mind, time and freedom to write just for myself and this little journal. I have been going into the mainland more and more often lately. Work and a weekly dog agility class for my daughter's puppy have kept me there once a week over the last month and a half. Yet, I rarely have time on the ferry, during the day, or on the way home to pause.

I really wish I wasn't going to the mainland so much. It's not that I shun society, rather the opposite. We are selling our property so we can have better access to business opportunities, land and people. No, I hate the trip to the mainland because it costs so much these days and we aren't making any more money than we used to. $25 for the ferry. $40 last time I filled my station wagon's tank, and during a full day in town--lunch and dinner for around $25 for the two of us. Almost $100 just to go grocery shopping before we by any groceries.  That adds up in a month when we usually only go to town (the mainland) once a month.   Needless to say it is all a bit painful in more ways than one.

Well, time is drifting by. Soon time to "depart the vessel" as they say. Please visit me at any of the above links to keep tabs on what's going on.
