Where Are You?

Posted by Darrell under: Blogging About The Outdoors .

I keep getting emails from people asking “where are you” and “have you given up blogging”, so it is time to set the matter straight. I’m still around and doing fine. I certainly haven’t given up blogging about the great outdoors. I’ve just slowed down a little for now.

I’ve been busy - just like every other outdoor blogger (or person for that matter) I know. It is amazing that once you slow down writing a little, it becomes easier and easier to make excuses for why you aren’t writing. I’ve had plenty of excuses lately.

My latest excuse? Well, I had an eye surgery and I’m recovering VERY slowly. I’ve had several weeks where I can’t focus on a computer screen for more than a few minutes. I’ve had a terrible time trying to work. Reading is difficult. Typing is near impossible. To see what I mean, try typing with your face directly over the keyboard. I can’t see the screen from further than about 6 inches!!

Eventually, my eyes are supposed to be better. So much better that I will supposedly be able to see better than I ever have! For now, this isn’t the case. Apparently, my eyes are taking a “little longer than normal” to recover. But, I should be seeing well in a couple more weeks and my wife will no longer have to double as my driver.

In the meantime, it’s now Turkey season in Missouri. I’ll be spending some time in the woods and hopefully will be writing about ole Tom in the coming days.
