Status Update of This Web Site

Have you noticed the recent erratic publication of new articles on this web site? Here is the reason why:

In the past month, I have encountered:

I earlier purchased a new home in Maine.
I made plans to move to Maine.
I packed up all my belongings in preparation for the move (that required more than a week).
I scheduled a moving company to visit my Florida home on October 9, load a truck with all my belongings, and take everything to Maine.
The strongest hurricane in the past decade struck Florida (including my home) on the scheduled day (October 9) with winds of up to 140 mph. The driver of the moving truck postponed the visit to load my possessions due to dangerous conditions on the highways.
The driver of the moving truck finally arrived at my Florida home on October 13 and loaded all my possessions onto the truck but did not leave for Maine due to highway flooding along the route.

On October 14, I started driving my automobile via a round-about route (remember the highway flooding) from Florida to Maine. I had my laptop computer with me but drove so many hours every day that I didn’t touch it until after arriving in Maine.

On approximately October 16 the truck driver left Florida for Maine.

On October 20, the driver and the truck arrived at my new home in Maine and unloaded. 

I have since spent many hours unpacking, arranging furniture, made multiple trips to the grocery store to purchase food, and performed many related tasks...

I am exhausted.

    I am glad that you made it to your new home (better late then never). Hope your new home works out and that you have some time to rest.
