I'm still here....

And that wasn't always a given....

This week was a doosy, I had to prepare for a court appearance to protect property from seizure. On Thursday I went to court, then I spent the rest of the day with a friend and had a very enjoyable dinner. The next morning I spent time taking action to protect property and then I spent the rest of the day on the Lake Front, a wonderful sunny day, exploring some new areas with my DSLR, so take a look at the slide show here or on my other blog.

Just trying to achieve some balance. I'm kind of proud of myself for splitting the day between court drudgery and enjoying myself.

I am sorry to have neglected my blogs, you would be surprised what's happened to me IRL in the last 6 months. Everything from a whirlwind romance to a carjacking burglary that nearly killed me. It was a violent hate crime a few months back.

Two car accidents, one that totaled my car and would have killed me if I would have been a five feet forward, tore off the front of my car and spread it for over 100 feet. The road had to be closed to clean it up.

Why should my my property be seized? Well my lawyer screwed up big time, but that's a subject for a whole post in itself. Speaking of posts, I've had a ton of thoughts for posts, just not enough time, energy or motivation to complete them. My writing style is different... I use a technique popular in computer design. I pipeline, at any given time I have dozens of ideas in various stages of draft... Being a recovering perfectionist, I tend to rewrite and proof them several times before posting.

Then there is overcoming the aggravation that some post topics cause. Reading some of my posts you can see I may not have overcome it too well.

For this blog, I have over 50 post ideas, some partially written, and then there is my legal battles, got a few down, plenty more to go... Those will be more posts above the 50... What I should do is post the ideas in my pipeline and see what people would like to hear about.

And as if divorce court wasn't bad enough. Some former blogger buddies are even taking it upon themselves to try and interfere with my visitation IRL. Divorce actions and legal harassment still present 10 months after final decree, but I'll save those details for upcoming posts.

But I'm still here... Alive and well, despite the wear and tear. And I'll try to get this blog updated more regularly.

Thanks GG... I am a very avid photographer.

As a child I can remember seeing my Uncle's darkroom, prints hanging to dry on the clothes line. He was a photojournalist.

Unfortunately he didn't live to see my full enthusiasm for his craft. I often wonder what he would think of today's extreme advancements.

And guess who the new photographer in the family is? My son has been using my digital camera for years and having a lot of fun with it.
