I like blogging. A lot. I really enjoy writing. Quite honestly, it’s an investment in my own future to be able to remember what I did in life when I get too old to remember. It’s kind of a journalling outlet for me.

But lately I’ve been slacking off.

Well, maybe not slacking off. But I just haven’t had enough margin in my life to sit down and do the things that I truly enjoy. It’s pretty frustrating. But I’m in the midst of one of the busiest, most demanding moments of my life.

My wife is 5 months pregnant with our third child. We’re writing a massive Christmas production together (the scale of an episode of Saturday Night Live). I’m producing said show. And my boss just started his month-long sabbatical today. So tack on some freelance projects that I do to be able to pay Annette for feeding, teaching, and caring for my children, and margin is scarce.

Here’s to hoping things mellow out occasionally so I can hear the quiet.
