An update, a post, what next!?!?!?! :)

Though you may not have realized it, the heartbeat of Horton Hollow is still strong. That is to say, I'm still kicking. My posts have been sporadic I realize but my heart remains, to write for those that will read my virtualized scrawlings. I'm still getting my feet under me, not being one that adapts quickly to large, sweeping changes in the schedule.

I am ramping up to start back on this blog as well as starting on a business blog of my own. Additionally, I'm beginning a joint-venture business blog wherein some partners and I will be sharing some things about business-building, investing, technology, etc.

It's an exciting time for me! But busy too. Horton Hollow is where my heart is, where I can be "me" and let my (remaining) hair down and write about whatever we like. Before I sign off, let me share some updates:

• Weight loss: still a struggle but I've plenty of fight in me and I'm far too stubborn to quit.
• Business: well see above you silly-head! :) I've lots to share there and things are going well.
• Our out-building: honestly I tried to break this deal and not get it after all. Turns out though, even though I "could" get out of it, I think it's prudent to go through with it. So things are moving there. We have some plans
• Isabella and Josh: well I'm sure you'd not recognize either of them. Josh has quickly become a young man, no longer a child to be sure. And our little Isabella is crawling and trying her darndest to say something we can all understand. She turned 10 months yesterday. The times, they do be a flyin!

You guys are all awesome! Thanks for reading! Keep up the CPR with comments, it helps the writing heartbeat stronger!

Some news .. OR ... When we last left our hero

Okay if anybody is out there still reading this virtual rag of my writing, here is an update on where I've been, what I've been doing and what is new in my little corner of the world here in Missouri.  When I last blogged, I was a computer programmer at a company called American Railcar Industries.  Good place to work and I'll miss it.

Miss it you say Rob?  Does that mean you're no longer there?

Correctamundo.

Let me bullet-point the happenings at Castle Horton since last we shared a blog post dear friends.

• I've quit my normal 9-5 and started my own full-time business with a long-time friend of mine.  More on the company name and our website to come.
• Our company is busy yes .. we are finishing up our first contract and starting a new one as of tomorrow.
• Needless to say I've not had much time to blog due to all this, since I was working at ARI and my new company too, but I will be back blogging now since I now officially have just one job.
• For our family life here, we are planning the construction of new out-building on our property.  We were blessed with an incredible deal which we could NOT pass up and will be constructing the new 25'x30' building in May/June.  Twil be a great place for extra storage, parking my truck, and moving my woodshop eventually out to it instead our basement.  Very pumped about that.
• Yes there are more things to announce but I'm a little tired of typing already (gonna have to work back up to my famously long posts I see).

But I am back dear readers.  Things are cooler than ever and this year promises many fun things to come for my family and my career.  Times they are exciting right now!
