I know I’ve been away from the site for a bit, and have only managed to check in over on the Survivor’s Network every couple of days. I hope the news I recently shared about my professional life will help explain my absence, as well as explain why March might not be any different! 😉
Hopefully, once I’m settled into the new job and the new town, things will get back to normal with my online time again. In the mean time, I hope you’ll be patient with me!
I saw a replica sign that said “Irish Need Not Apply” at the Irish festival, and had some thoughts about that. I was reminded of those thoughts when I was listening to the Donegal X-Press CD I picked up over the weekend this morning. There’s a song on there called The Work Shanty that is…
Crossposted to Mikemac on Sports. I was listening to a recent BS Report, a podcast about sports on Grantland, in which Bill Simmons had Mike Tyson and Jalen Rose on, and got Mike talking about some of the issues and demons that he has had to deal with throughout his life. It was an interesting…
My wife and I went to see A Beautiful Mind tonight. It was a good movie, but a difficult one for me to watch. Anything that reminds me of the complete emptiness that losing time created in my soul is tough for me to swallow. Watching John come to grips with his delusions, and the…

Definitely understand, Mike! Best wishes for your new job and new location. Big adjustments.
You have to give your full concentration on “real life” and getting settled…..that happens to all of us bloggers at some point.

Mike,
Of course. Congratulations on the new job and the move. I hope that the days and weeks ahead are filled with joy.

Mike,
Congrats on the new job and new location. I am really looking forward to you getting back at your blog. I have been searching all over, and there are so few of us dealing with male sexual abuse… that we need to stick together. In the meantime, please let me know what you think of mine. http://www.masteryourhealing.com.

Thanks Erik. no worries, the blog will be here, I’m just going to be a little less consistent for a little while because time will be a bit less available as I move, but it will be back as always as we get into April.
Thanks for sharing your blog, looks like you’ve done a nice job, keep it up!
Good luck with all this new stuff, Mike. I hope it all goes well for you. I am always wishing you the best.
Right now, I’m making the rounds to say goodbye to the blogosphere after five years of blogging. I want to thank you for all your encouragement and support, for my blog and THE BLOG CARNIVAL AGAINST CHILD ABUSE. Thanks for being you and for the work that you do.
