Our Work Is Never Over

OK, so...

I went away for a while, and a great deal of things happened. As I indicated in my last postings, my 40th birthday was quickly approaching, and a series of my closest friends were set to begin arriving in cycles to visit and celebrate. That all went by in the last three weeks of March, and I then went back to Washington for a week of work, and visiting, and the third in a series of birthday parties to round off what was, without a doubt, the best birthday I ever had.

But there was just something about the whole time that made me uninterested in blogging. Not that I didn't want to share it all with you. Far from it. I just was so in the moment that I really honestly couldn't break away.

Then, work took over. Boy did it ever take over. I have been so swamped and overwhelmed with stuff lately that my head is reeling.

So, in that spirit, I turn to King Julien and his brother, Jay, to say it for me. If I know my audience well, I know you'll appreciate it, and forgive my absence. Because alas, we must work it faster, stronger and harder all the time.
