This is an early announcement with a purpose. For the first time in nearly 30-years of my career, I’m going to take an extended break from work. During the month of October I’m shutting off the cell phone, disabling the email, and avoiding both Twitter and Facebook. This is new for me; I’ve never taken such a long break and even the shorter ones included regular contact with work or ministry. I’m told it will be good for me. I hope so.
The first part of the time off will be spent in the orchard with D’Aun. We’re planting another 125 trees for D’Oliva Olive Oil . This should be a fun “chop wood carry water” time of getting back to basics. Then later in October, D’Aun and I are going to Italy for vacation. Which means good food, good wine, and lots of la dolce vita.
But here’s the thing … I hope to continue posting updates to my blog during that time. If you want to be alerted to these updates, then subscribe to my blog and you’ll automatically be notified. You can get an email update or RSS feed (links are plastered all over this page, so I’m sure you can find them). In this way you’ll be able to read and see what I’m up to without waiting for a tweet or Facebook posting.
So sign up … hopefully I’ll have something interesting to say.
