Silence

There is some wonder in my mind as to the effectiveness of attempting to communicate across many miles with the use of this simple blog.

Certainly the wonder quickly subsides when it becomes quite obvious that continuing a current series of blog entries may much improve any supposed effectiveness.

Yes, it is very much a true statement that I am VERY delinquent in providing a recent update to this blog. For that, I TRULY apologize to all those who remained curious and interested in reading about life and thoughts poised from this end of the world.

Why the silence? Well, there is not a one-word answer or other excuse. There are reasons, good or bad, for a three month gap. Much of those reasons revolve around a bit of burn-out, fatigue, and just failing to live in the reality of staying in touch with a bigger world. There isn't really an excuse to be made, nor do I wish to make one - just to agree that such lack is pretty lame.

There are a whirlwind of thoughts going through a mind congested with ideas of a past time. I had hoped things would go differently in keeping in touch with people and the world at large when I set out on this journey some time ago.

Certainly the blog wasn't so much a strict communicative and informative forum as it was a place to share some heart and some of life. I'd much like to say that efforts shall improve, but, I've said that before... So, we'll have to wait and see what proves true.


I had the opportunity to spend two of the last three months house-sitting a neighbor's home - it was a good break from community life.


The house in which I lived for two months.

Hi-yo matt. this is jeff batchelder. I just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you and I hope you are doing alright. You sound a wee bit melancholy in your post, so anyway, I hope all is well. The house that you were sitting looks very quaint. Very nice, too. I'm about to start house sitting for some folks around Eagle River, too. You might know them. Last name is Wood. I guess they have some dog named Kiwi. I'm looking forward to it. 3 and 1/2 weeks. I'm sorry about your grandfather; I hope you are well and it will be good to see you again someday. I'll hopefully talk to you a little more often. ciao and god bless.
Jeff
