My apologies loyal fans, I have just realized that I have not written an actual blog post in some time. In fact, I've been limping by with flashy photo's and half-meant promises of more "blogging" to follow. I haven't made good on these promises and wish to explain.
As the title of this post indicates, I have been busy - incredibly busy.

First off - my paying job. 8 hours a day five days a week really cuts into blogging time.
Second - music. I'm now in 2-3 bands - it depends how well everyone is getting along. I am, of course, a permanent member of Tin Town, however we are on a small hiatus at the moment while we re-focus. I am now also a member of a brand new ska-funk-rock band we are calling "SNP" (say it "snap"). We will be playing again on Thursday, September 8th I hope...need to confirm this. I am also off to FolkWest all weekend in Victoria to be a stage manager again...
Third - being a dad. It takes a lot of time as it is the most important job I have.
Fourth - mountain biking - I do still do this occasionally.
Fifth - Mt. Cain - still want to head up there again and still helping with their sewer issues.

Summer back country skiing at Mt Cain - can be muddy
Sixth and currently my biggest expenditure of extra time and energy - the first ever Car Free Sunday for the Comox Valley. We just received approval for the Town of Comox yesterday. So - now I need to make it happen.

That's one big dog!
I will try and be more vigilant, but no promises. Don't worry, ski season is coming soon and all I plan to do all winter is ski, work and blog.

August snow!
I say that now, but I am sure something will come up that grabs my attention.
It will probably be shiny...
