Where's Waldo

I was always amazed at how some skinny dude in a white and red sweater and goofy tuque could get lost in the crowd so often.  You know he’s there, but you just don’t see him.  You would think he would know better than to hang out in an environment with so much red and white.  Then again, maybe he doesn’t want to be found.

That is the only way I can explain my disappearance for the last couple weeks.  I came off work and prepared for the transition to be home regularly for the next couple months.  I returned to class, settled into the home routine.  Focus changed from stress, cell phone, computer, reports, to just getting home, completing more tangible and more important matters like spending time with family.  My email and cell phone got checked as regularly as a lunar landing. I dropped off the map for a bit.  And it was good.  I was able to take in some classes, (even a demo practice) and start into the transition of home life again.  Getting lost from the digital world for awhile seems like a weird thing for a fella that has been away for the better part of 6 months, but that disappearance was what I needed.

With work out of the way temporarily, I foolishly thought this may be an opportunity to make a commitment to something.  Take off the red and white sweater, the black rimmed glasses and show my face again.  Wrong... work come up, and off I go for another three weeks, I guess I am destined to the road commitments (Those goals that can be achieved from afar and away from the team). 

Hope to see you all soon and preferably before Christmas.

Sihing Out.
