Blog on Hold

I’ve received a couple of complaints that I’ve not updated this blog in some time. Thank you both for complaining.

I’ve blamed it on Facebook in the past but now I have a couple of other excuses.

When I started the blog, it was a vehicle for me to express my wonder and amazement with a number of new aspects of my life; retirement, life as an ex-pat, the culture of Mexico, living in the country and falling in love. In reality, many things that used to make me wide-eyed are now routine. Few things surprise me anymore. The unusual seems usual now.

So that’s one part. The other is time. “You’re retired,” one might say. “You’ve got nothing but time.”

Funny thing, time. Aside from my housewife/husband duties, I’m also starting a new consulting business with a friend and ex-colleague in the U.S., I’m working on a book project, and then there is some volunteer work for charitable organizations that needs my attention now and then.

I’m not signing off forever. But I am taking a blog hiatus. I’d like to thank both of my fans for reading. I’ll be back eventually.
