Several days back I mentioned that one of the benefits to writing this blog and editorials for the print media as well as pieces for online content is that occasionally I get to write for other people.  I also mentioned that I was absent from posting on the blog due to a project that I was working on.  The new news is that this project is in the process of blossoming into a possible career move for me.  Although I cannot divulge the nature of this new path my writing career has taken I will tell you that this path leads to the same end.  Therefore, I am announcing that I will be taking some significant time off from the blog to cultivate this new endeavor and hope that I can return soon to let you all know exactly what I am talking about.
