Between dealing with a business implosion, one of my ex employers having “lay off-ers remorse” and being upset that I work for a rival company, my son being attached at my hip, and so on it’s been a trip.  I am looking forward to having a nice relaxing Father’s Day Weekend (which needs to include both SUN and BBQ) followed by getting on track for a very productive last week of June.

I’ve got a few great projects I am working one.  I’ll break them down by type…

WEB DEVELOPMENT:  One’s getting closer to completion of the development phase, which is sweet.  The last key piece will be a database system being developed by one my partners.  Two others have proposals out as well.

WRITING:  I’ve wrapped a mini series treatment that’s already got an artist.  Once he is ready to roll, we’ll see some pages show up here.  The other major comic project had been a bit stalled the last few  months due to time and health.  It should be back on track next week.  I’ve also got a number of different projects at different stages of development that need some attention to incubate a little bit.

That should cover it all for now.  I should be back to regular posts on this site as well.  Stay tuned.

Flash foward to today.  This was my son’s third parade, having been born in January of 2007, he really only got into this year, at 2 1/2.  He was waving his flag and poppy flower (for those of you who don’t know what that is, it is a little handmade flower that veterans make and then give as gifts for donations).  It makes me happy and proud.   Both of my grandfathers were WWII vets.  My dad’s dad in the Pacific and my Mom’s dad in Europe.  I was too young or uninterested to be able to hear any of their stories and I am regretful & saddened by that.  It is such an important time in our share global history and every day we lose another link to that true past.

So while you are all digesting your BBQ and thinking about how sweet this summer is going to be, do yourself a favor and just take a few minutes and think about all the men and women who put themselves in harms way and ultimately may have given their lives so that we can enjoy our freedoms.
