I haven’t had much energy to write the last few months.. Yes, this is going to be a personal entry so those of you that don’t care, skip on..

So the year of 2006 is to go down as the most brutal year I have experienced to date.. Even worse than when I thought my wife and I were going to get divorced, but mostly because that worked out and it has become a distant memory.. Since January 4th, 2006, we have had 9 deaths in our close circle of life.. From our neighbor to Diane’s dad, to Aunts and Uncles.. We have actually put a close to one whole generation of my father’s family.. A wealth of knowledge that is gone forever..

Yes it’s maudlin, but it really does re-enforce just how little time we spend with family and just how much we let pass us by as we chase our own lives.. At this point I really have no idea how to react any more.. It’s day by day and hoping that it slows down at some point..
