Another Long Absence

I became interested in starting up my toy business after my near death experience with a brain tumor and its subsequent surgical removal.  This sounds very dramatic, and it was!  How close to death I really was is a matter for debate, but I was close enough.

During my recovery I pledged that in the time I had left, I would return to creativity after a decades long absence.  I bought the web address Geppettosworkbench.com, I cobbled together a website, and I started the blog.  As I began to feel better during the year-long recovery, regular life began to seep in through the foundation of my new resolve and I became once again distracted by the requirements of daily life.

Once in awhile I would poke my head up from the sand, visit my website, and write another blog post promising to get back to it.  So far I haven't.  Perhaps I never will.  But I hope I will.

Now that I've moved into my new living situation (see my previous post), I will start building things again.  First I'll build a tool-chest for the set of tools I will keep at my apartment.  Then I'll build some furniture for the apartment.  Then some Christmas presents for the Grandchildren.  I will chronicle these builds.  I'm sure not a single person will be interested in these things.  But no matter.  I will keep this as a journal nonetheless.  Mostly so I can practice doing so, in case at some point I have something worth sharing one day.
