Some catching up to do

It’s been quite a while since my last post here. I must say that the day job and household responsibilities and chores have sapped quite a bit of my energy, and I haven’t really felt much like blogging very often lately. As in the game of American Football when the quarterback throws a pass, when you start a blog, 3 things can happen and 2 of them are bad. One, the blog can quickly become stagnant with no updated content for weeks or months (bad). Two, the blog is updated too often in an attempt to keep the content fresh. Without purpose and focus, creativity and originality can begin to suffer and the blog can become boring and readers may quickly lose interest (arguably better, but still bad). Three, you achieve that ideal balance of providing intriguing content on a regular basis.

So far I’ve fallen into the first category, but this week I have something important to say and hope that you’ll follow my updates as I write about a week of volunteer work happening in Lake Charles, Louisiana. It’s been nearly 3 years since hurricanes Katrina and Rita devastated the area, and there is still much to do for the residents and environment in the Gulf Region. I leave this afternoon for a week long effort with several co-workers and volunteers from several other companies. I’ll be providing written updates for my company’s intranet site and will also post updates here.

Until the first update, you can find more information here.
