Well, it's been a quiet week in Harrisburg, my home town.
The leaves are starting to turn with the return of fall, the air has that certain crispness in it, and the town is all a twitter about the high school football and soccer teams.
Meanwhile, my hiatus from regular blogging continues without major incident. Returning to an offline life has been less difficult than I first imagined. I frankly thought I was addicted to blogging but I have left it without having delirum tremors. I don't even check my stats anymore.
So what has this new found time allowed me to do? Quite a bit, actually.
- I've been refereeing high school, adult, recreational, and club soccer like a madman this fall. I'm in pretty good shape, get to enjoy a game I love, and get paid for it.
- I've joined the Civil Air Patrol. I figured it was time to give a little something back to my country. I serve with some really good cadets and senior members. I've learned alot about aviation and emergency services. Plus I get to wear a nifty uniform.
- There's less stress in my life. I've talked about this before. There's one less set of self-imposed deadlines and need to come up with material. There's no online squabbles with unreasonable people and trolls.
When I'll make a full-bore return to blogging, I have no idea. Maybe in 2010 before the Sioux Falls City Elections.
In the meantime, I'm enjoying living the offline life.
