Heeding the call for change. | Cold Coffee ...and reruns

August 2, 2008

.Yep. I dropped off the face of the earth. And what a leap it was! During the past month, I cleaned house - dropped out of “cybernets” (web-based social networks), and unsubscribed from a number of newsletters that were clogging up my inbox.

While I have enjoyed meeting and making many new friends through these networks, it’s become too all-consuming trying to - on top of the cybernets - keep up with my site, hold down a fulltime job, and raise a teenage son as a single mom. Nick’s going to graduate high school next Spring, so I expect a busy upcoming year, and my emphasis will be on getting him ready for his next big journey.

Don’t think I’m abandoning the site entirely. In the months ahead, I’ll update Cold Coffee occasionally with anecdotals of life as we’re living it. In the interim, span the archives for encore readings sure to make you smile. There’s music, video clips, and enough banter to keep you smiling for a little while.

Ok - I’m gonna go play some Guitar Hero with Nick. Sure he can beat me most times, but I still give him a run for his money! What are you going to do? Oh - before I go, I give you an summertime oldie, but goodie. Enjoy!

See you soon.

I think that’s a great plan. Enjoy the rest of the summer and that darling son of yours.

DK! What up

I too dropped out of most every social network as well! I also scrapped my reader. I rebuilt it but in the process missed a couple friends’ blogs (remembering things is not my forte). Realized that I hadn’t connected with you yet. Bad BD! Good luck with catching up with all your life stuff, and I’ll be sure to drop by from time to time

Ohhhh Guitar Hero is great fun. I finally can kick the kiddos butts at it….when I make them play with the guitars behind their heads. Whatever works right?

You play Guitar Hero with your son? I wish my mom would play with me. That’s awesome.
