MIA

Buena Fortuna · 07-27-2009, 06:17 AM

Hey guys,

I just wanted to post and apologize for being MIA recently. My wife lost her job in February and I have been working 2 jobs 7days/week since October. Additional family issues with my health and our oldest going thru a divorce, and he and our 4 yr. old grandson moving in with us...well you get the picture, life is busy.

I'm not complaining or saying that I have it bad or looking for a pity party, as I know that many of you and your families are going through difficult times as well. I just wanted to post a "heads up" and explain where I have been as of late.

I greatly miss the camaraderie here and anticipate getting back to a consistent level of involvement here soon. Additionally, I will be attending the Shack V Herf in a couple of weeks and am looking forward to some R&R and meeting many of you face-to-face.

God Bless,

Sam

This too; shall pass

Thanks for the update, Sam. Sorry for the issues you have been having, but I'm glad things are getting on better track.

Appreciate you letting us know your whereabouts. I hate to see a B/SOTL go MIA. God bless you!
