So, after posting late July I have been AWOL. I have a plethora of excuses for the long absence but one will do—laziness. I took a break. A break from writing, a break from writing during the summer when I was juggling being an active dad to three of the most amazing daughters a dad could ask for, a break from writing during our summer vacation, and a break after a very stressful time in our family’s life as we decided whether to move or not. I think my “battery” was low for a number of reasons and the last month has been just what the doctor ordered. My wife and I have been able to enjoy the remainder of our summer after stressing for the previous three months over work related issues; I have been able to dedicate myself entirely to my family (i.e. kids) and ratchet it up from being super dad to super-duper dad; and as for me, I think the self imposed pressure that I have put on myself (which all the great ones do) eventually showed up in the form of a couple of nasty summer time illnesses. That was then, now I have two kids in school and one starting preschool. I finally have some time to dedicate to writing again and I have a ton of stuff to write about. I want to thank all of my close friends who have been there for me during my absence in the form of concerned emails and comments. I will begin with a big virtual high-five to my bud Pete who has been like an online brother over the last few months and just and awesome dude to vent to. Mike, aka MileHighDad, has also been a reminder for me that folks are thinking about me and wondering “what’s up?” and for that I very thankful. And in no particular order I would like to give a shout out to some of my other friends who have been asking about me in my absence (you guys are the best) MomoFali, NukeDad, EGangsta, Loomis, PiperOfLove, Jeremy, Melisa, Tom, Weasel Momma, and Vegas Dad. There are of course many more that didn’t come forward but were either equally concerned or just sent into a deep depression during my absence and for this I apologize. Bottom line— I’m Back Baby!

I never asked--but I was a little worried. Our family rule is no news is good news so I figured you needed the time. Glad you're back.

I'm glad you're alive. I was all worried and everything. Next time, you should totally post that you're going on a bloggy vacation so us worry warts don't call all the hospitals around because somebody in the chat section put that idea into our head. Not that I did that- I'm just saying.
 Glad you're back. 19

I'm glad to see you're alive. I was about ready to google you to see if their were any news reports of an unfortunate "accident" in your neck of the woods. My mind is now at ease.

I figured you were taking a much-earned break... I've done the same thing, ^_^ I'm very glad you're back though! I have missed you! And I, for one, am SHOCKED that you were not nominated 857684384863463 times for the Hot Blogger Calendar! I would definitely vote for you!
