I am here. . .but unable to do as much as I wish. While experiencing our own, minor, financial meltdown–who’da thunk a global recession would stop people from entertaining with private chefs, podcasters, and sustainability & gardening gurus??–I have also been scrambling to keep up on chores, and seasonal harvest issues.

Also, in September, we enrolled our girls in an online school system. It is working great, but the computers promised in the information packet, never materialized. If we don’t “qualify” I wonder who does? So I am left sharing my main computer with 4 children for 8 hours a day with an extra 4 hours per week that I have to spend on their material. My older laptop works for some of the schooling, but not for video or podcast work. I still haven’t managed to adjust to this new schedule. The interruptions, distractions and broken day hasn’t lent itself to productive work on any of my projects. It is frustrating not to be able to work on my ideas, blog, film, and bring you a weekly show.

There is a new Gastrocast in the works, recorded a few weeks ago. Its editing is almost done, but the weather has been mild here and more conducive to getting firewood in than sitting at my computer editing. I have been very distracted getting new ideas for the show. Just haven’t found the time to bring them to you.

It’s 8am. . .I’m late in getting school materials together. Gotta go. I’ll be back soon.
