Life Begins at 60 – 1.060 That Is

Well, I've done it again, it's been far too long since I've updated. Lately, I've been busy with work stuff, not wanting to write when I get home, and have generally had nothing too interesting to write about (too interesting to me, anyway). If you've been following me @tlmasonaea or on Facebook you've been staying up-to-date with my life. If you're not following me, why not?

Facebook’s 25 Things

I read quite a few of these over the last few weeks and thought I would give it a shot myself. Filling this out was a lot more enjoyable than I thought it would be, which is why I wanted to share with the world. Possibly the most difficult part of this whole exercise was tagging 25 friends and only 25 as well as including those who tagged me.

Emerging from WCMS Hell

I'm not dead, far from it. The last month was difficult, but now that it's over, I can breathe easily for a few weeks, as well as get back to some outstanding personal projects. Outstanding as in not complete, not as in amazing (although they could be outstanding as in amazing as well).
