So Where Have You Been?
The title of this post is actually a question that I have been getting more and more often lately. The most truthful answer is that I have been so busy that I haven’t been able to do many of the things I usually do in my spare time. This includes in no particular order:
- Spend much time in the wordpress.com, bbpress.org, wordpress.org and mu.wordpress.org forums. With all the work that I have been doing lately it is tough to find the extra time to spend answering questions and helping others. It is not something that I have quit doing and I will return to doing more when things let up.
- Social events including weddings, golf trips and other social gatherings. It falls into much of the same reasons for not being able to attend as many of these as I usually do. It isn’t that I don’t want to do them, it just hasn’t been something that I have been able to schedule in.
- Spending time on social applications. I really haven’t been an active participant in facebook, twitter, friendfeed and other online applications either. Part of this is because of the time and partly because I am starting to limit my participation. I have locked down several of these applications and that will most likely continue as I move forward.
It has been work and family that occupy my time lately and when you are extremely busy this is what is most important to me. I really love the internet, but it really has been for my work pursuits as the majority time logged. The interesting thing to me is something I was told a long time ago when it comes to just about everything. Either you are a player or you don’t exist. This applies to work, social networking, communities, family and just about everything else. The hardest part is keeping balance. When time is limited, you can only do what you can do.

I love the saying, “Either you are a player or you don’t exist.” though it doesn’t really have the same meaning in a global world with a long tail.
J and I having little W have been mostly hermits ourselves. Other than walks around the blocks, we do at least one outing a day, but they usually last only a couple of hours.
Hey stranger, remember me? Call me some time……!!!
