Apr 19 / Steve

From the Latin remissus

A definition:

reĀ·miss (r-ms)

adj.

1. Lax in attending to duty; negligent.
2. Exhibiting carelessness or slackness.

[Middle English, from Latin remissus, past participle of remittere, to remit, slacken; see remit.]

It’s appropriate that today’s post begin with this definition, for what better way to describe the past 3 weeks other than “exhibiting carelessness or slackness.” 3 weeks, you ask? Yep, that’s how long it’s been since I last posted (March 31, Zpring is the Zeazon of Renewal). 19 days to be precise, but those two days are trivial relative to the 19. Granted, lots of things have happened in the last 19 days that have hindered my ability to grow this Lake of the Ozarks venture; consider:

  1. In-Law Invasion, April 1 – April 7. I’m lucky in that I married into a great family of literate and internet-faring people. And that’s all I have to say on the matter.
  2. Masters Practice Round, April 5-6. Awesome, awesome, beautiful, and awesome. Thanks Mel & Papa R.
  3. Family Vacation, April 8 – 13. Island in the gulf, poor cell reception, no internet access, secluded beach, empty pool, giant bottle of gin. Thanks to Papa R & ZsaZsa.
  4. Business trip, April 15-16. Washington D.C., and not even the fun part.

All the same, I’ve definitely been remiss in my responsibility (to myself) to grow this site out and see what can become of it.
