I don't have excuses for the long delay in new posts, but here are some of the reasons:<br /><br />1) My old computer started to die by degrees at the end of June. One of the first things to go was my ability to upload stuff. Thus, no blog posts (except when I borrowed someone else's computer) and no Flickr posts. Not even any photos posted to Facebook. After it finally became clear that I couldn't fix the (multiplying) problems, I bought a new computer, which I'm still figuring out how to use. <br /><br />2) There have been some health issues in the family that have required some of my spare time.<br /><br />3) I'm taking on more historical writing work in my free time. The paying stuff (with deadlines) tends to get more attention than the blog. This is a trend you may have noticed over the past few years. This may get worse before it gets better. There may be a book (or two) in my future.<br /><br />4) Being president of the Orange County Historical Society is taking up some of my time too. I love it, so I'm probably going to stick around -- either until I'm voted off the island or until it stops being fun. <br /><br />5) I'm now trying (when the weather cooperates) to regularly hit the trails at Bolsa Chica. I can't keep up this enchilada habit if I don't burn some calories now and then. <br /><br />All that said, I WILL get back to posting stuff here. I already started the ball rolling last weekend by updating a bunch of the links. Look for more blogging soonishly.<br /><br />I'm glad you're still interested.Chris Jepsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00207321906121901004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835367.post-64457910188336603932014-10-17T12:32:56.726-07:002014-10-17T12:32:56.726-07:00It's been forever since you've posted.
