Absense Makes the Blog Go Dimmer

Or something like that anyway.

Yes, I've been away for awhile.  Yes, I know that I pretty much broke my resolution to blog nearly every day.  That doesn't change anything.  I've had friends ask or text to make sure that I was okay and I assured everything was fine.

Fact is the little break from the blog was entirely selfish on my part.  You see it was a matter of timing.

Yesterday, Melanie and I crossed the thirty seven week mark of the pregnancy.  At this point, if labor starts, they do not stop it and baby is on the way.  Coupled with that information and the fact that it's usual for first children to be born early, the timing of this got me thinking.  And my thinking made me selfish.  But I got it out of my system and I'm ready now.

The last couple of weeks, I thought that I would try to cram in as much of the little fun things I like to do on my own.  That included some reading, playing hockey and a fair amount of video games that I had not played for awhile.  Now why do this and not blog?  Good question, but I knew the blog would always be here and it's honestly a little easier on my time.

No big mystery really.  Just taking advantage of a bit of time before our baby is born and the time I do things completely changes.  To be perfectly frank, I'm nervous as hell about fatherhood as I know somewhere I am going to screw up...but I constantly strive to improve on this, to make things better.  I hope that's enough.

Anyway, I'm not going to dwell on that too much.  Mystery, such as it is, solved.  Over the next few days, I'll post some more thoughts on my impending fatherhood, I've got a Star Trek Online review that I want to post up for the benefit of my friends and some other thoughts about tidbits over the past week or so.
