It’s been a few weeks since I’ve updated this thing.  Forgive the neglect.  I’ve had lots of things going on in my personal life that has kept me from this.

I have not given up on the “Life by the Numbers” series I was working on.  I’ve just been sidetracked.  I will try to get some more stuff going soon.

Keep watching this site, especially if you don’t have Twitter.  The feed on the left remains very active, so there is some content flowing on here.  Just not the main blog stuff you’ve been reading.

Back to work!

Wow.  1979.  The year before my favorite decade.  Probably because I actually have memories of the 80s.

The best thing about 1979 was President Jimmy Carter being attacked by a swamp rabbit back home in Plains, Georgia.  That, and a little network called ESPN hit the air.

I have one of my first memories from this year.  Mom and Dad took me down to Disney World for the first time.  The only thing I recall is I was in a stroller, and Goofy came by and hugged me.  I was so happy to see him that I pitched a massive fit when he walked away.  He went into a door near the teacup ride, and that was it.  I don’t remember anything else about that trip.  Quite frankly, I don’t remember anything else about that year.

There you have it.  I’m finally starting to remember things!

Forward to 1980!
