Big Changes Lately…

Howdy all. It’s obviously been a long time since I’ve directly posted to the blog. Been going working through some various issues, one of which is my pending separation from my wife.

A couple of months ago, we’ve decided to separate and, ultimately, divorce on friendly terms. Unfortunately, it did get kind of ugly, however, up to this week, Sha’s decided to leave Kaleb and Taylor with me, temporarily, until she has a permanent place to live. She’s currently living with her boyfriend and his roommate on the Southside. Big reason for her doing that is because I simply had a problem with her coming and going whenever she felt like it. Now, out of sight, out of mind.

Kaleb and Taylor are doing wonderfully. Sha actually comes to watch Kaleb during the week while she continues to search for a full-time job. She also picks Taylor up from school and watches them both in the afternoons while continue to work part-time for the school by supervising the athletic center at night when I come home for the evening “shift.”

I haven’t talked to Sha’s son, Lee, after all of this, of course. Matt and Mackenzie seem to be taking it very well. In fact, the three of us went to Pennsylvania for Christmas to stay on my dad and stepmoms’ farm. On that front, they decided to offer me one of their Bouvier des Flandres puppies, which I’m very much looking forward to since they figured (and I agreed) that I could probably use an unconditional companion right now. :) A picture of Hussi is to the right. If anyone’s interested in learning more about the Bouvier, drop me a line!. Dad and Linda breed and raise them so I could definitely hook you up with their info.

I’ve also joined the Tuckahoe YMCA where I purchased a family membership to allow me to take Kaleb and Taylor with me when I workout at night. I’m averaging about six miles on the treadmill five days a week and am finally getting back into the weights. Definitely missed doing that when I was working out so hard at Gold’s in Staunton before we moved back to Richmond.

I’m also very much looking forward into getting back into my various projects including Richmond Free Wireless, the Richmond Mobile Blog (actually, I did a bit of work on this blog last night which was pretty fun) and, finally, the Near West End News site which continues to grow in my absence thanks to the hard efforts of Jonah Holland. Those guys probably think I fell off the face of the Earth. I’ll be back to it very soon.

Well, this is a lot to throw out there. I’ll do my best to start blogging again on a more regular basis. I’ll probably comment on how I’m doing from time to time, i.e. dealing with stuff, etc. So far, I’m doing very well, considering.

Y’all have a good one!
