Missing In Action
Dean here. Sorry for the last month or so. Things have been all way too busy. Staying home as Jacob’s father was a less hectic job. It was busy, but less involved when it came to all the new additions to my day. For instance, there is the obvious take-home work of being a teacher. There is the shaving every day now. That part I try not to do on the weekends. Maybe a beard would be nice right about now. Of course, it would add about ten years to my appearance.
Honestly this is starting to sound like a Jack Handy skit from SNL - “Deep Thoughts” by Dean Everton Prescott. I guess what I am trying to say is that the blog is dying a slow and painful death. Owen has been absent for some time now and I am starting to dwindle away, as well. Life, real life, is taking over again. Another baby is on the way, Jacob is growing up, I’m working five days a week instead of two. I’m wearing a tie four of the five days (not Fridays). Life is moving fast and changing.
So I am not promising anything. I can’t and I know I can’t. I’m focused on my family, my job, and everything else but this blog.
It’s been a good run. Is it over? Who knows? Maybe. Maybe not. Time will tell - but I’m not making any promises.
I can try to do more, and I can try to do better. In the end, I think it may have run its course. We’ll see…
Resist. Multiply. Offer me some motivation.

A daily blog is , well a responsibility. Add it to the “important” areas of your life and , well, it just is not that important! Maybe if you were to write an entry for the first two weeks, and Owen an entry for the last two weeks ??/ You have to make an entry by the 10th and Owen by the 20th..
It would be easy on you both and easy on the readers!!
That way we all benefit.
I do believe that being a Dad is unique… Say it, Savor it and Share it!!!!!
