Much to my amazement, it has been four days since I have produced anything to fill this space. Although I have spent some small amount of time reading my regular blogs – and even less commenting, even that has fallen off this weekend just now coming to an end. Of course there is a perfectly reasonable explanation – part of it I’ll share, right here, right now. And part of it I won’t, not yet anyway.
I am in summer school at Sac State. I’m enrolled in three units of Spanish reading proficiency (yuk) and another three units of journalism internship. The Spanish is compulsory… I have to take it to graduate and the internship is… exhilarating. I just started writing for a small paper in the Sierra foothills and it is keeping me plenty busy. It is a weekly and publishes on Thursdays. I will have a couple of pieces published this week. Don’t worry, I’ll remove the mystery and provide the links and all once it hits the streets. Just know that, for now I am very busy and happy as a pig in… mud!
PS: For those of you that must know what the “other” reason for my absence is, feel free to email me – it’s not a huge secret, I just don’t want to go into it right now.

Hope evrything is well, and I won't pry by emailing....I just send you hugs and hope everything irons itself out.
And I hear you about being busy...I've been suffering from serious blog-neglect lately (mine and other people's).

snags ~ It does now... it sure flew by at the time though!
