Yeah. No one saw this coming.

Except for the Barack Obama presidency. They called this over five years ago, and we didn’t listen.

Look where that got us.

So, what have I been up to? Obviously not this site. Shortly following my absence, things became rough. My child’s school stopped having classes and went to online courses.

That hit me hard. I remember reading the email from the school, and between reading that and hearing news about COVID-19, I started to cry. I felt helpless and depressed. Since February, my life had changed for the better. To suddenly go into a deep depression like that, I was not prepared to feel that way again.

I questioned myself and my family’s future. I pictured the apocalypse. I didn’t know what to do at that moment. I stayed busy with my job since we were considered an “essential business”. My wife wasn’t so lucky. She was out of work for a month. Now that she is back to work, even though there are different precautions to deal with, we are able to handle problems and the current life’s scenario with a much stronger and level head.

I realized that blogging is going the way of the dodo, but things such as photography still are popular. I am going to continue with this site, but will probably kill all my other blogs.

I have written a short story that I have had some authors that I follow read, and they feel that I have an original voice, and that I have the ability to make a career writing. That is going to be my main focus, but I still want to take pictures and entertain you with this camera that refuses to die.

So, I apologize for my absence, and if you are still following me, I will be posting again. In fact, there is a photo coming online today. I will try to be more regular about it, and maybe take it with me places so that it is not just things around the house that I am taking pictures of.

We’ll see on that, though. Anyway, thanks for sticking with me through this, and enjoy the pictures.
