I have been extremely busy the last couple of weeks: Traveling for work, community service projects, doing some data work for a couple of GOP campaigns around the area, church obligations, etc. This has caused me to readjust my priorities to ensure I can meet my commitments.

It’s also that time of the year when we start talking budgets – the fiscal year begins in the fall and budget planning is generally 6 months out for the non-profit boards I serve on. The struggle is getting all the stakeholders together on the same calendar, even when you’re the President, which I am for a couple of organizations during this term. It’s also the start of fundraising season which means I need to keep the groups motivated to accomplish our aggressive campaigns.

The good news is that I’ve gotten through the thick of things. That doesn’t mean other obligations won’t come up later, but hopefully the contingencies have been accounted for and the right people are in place to minimize the time I need to spend.

So tomorrow, Rule 5 resumes and a slow ramp up of some posts and observations about the upcoming election season. I have spent a lot of time with voters in and around the surrounding communities and it’s becoming more and more clear that our media and left are on a coordinated mission to change the direction of this country, and not in a good way. I’ll share more over the next few weeks.

I appreciate all of you sticking around. Hope you all have a great week ahead!

Arrived back home on Thursday before the Memorial Day weekend only to discover there were some new pressing matters to work through. Fortunately, I took time off through today to finally get things settled down.

Rule 5 and Fun Fact of the Day will return tomorrow to start off June. Looks like I will be moving soon as the Rule 5 wife and I are out looking at properties to see where we can build. Not the best time to do it, but looking anyway. I just completed remodeling the office when my wife acquired the “itch” about a new house. The reasons are practical, such as helping to support her parents as well as the grandchildren being able to visit during the summer with some added space. Still, timing is everything.

Despite this, the goal this year is to expand the blog, so I’m looking forward to adding more content and working on the new look. Current track record suggests life will continue to bring new challenges. Didn’t have to be this way. Thanks, Biden!

Thanks for visiting as always! You are all much appreciated.

Unlike Joe Biden (and Bill Schmalfeldt), I actually have a real job that benefits real Americans. Usually, I stage the Rule 5 and Fun Fact posts over the weekend. Unfortunately, this weekend saw a client escalation that required my attention. Since “C” level types are watching from above with great interest, some weekend activities were delayed.

Now that the world is no longer on fire.. er.. well, at least the production problems have been resolved, things should be back to normal.

Thanks for being patient.

Didn’t realize I missed Friday-Sunday fun facts last week.  I normally stage things one week ahead but must’ve gotten distracted towards the end.  Lot’s of squirrels around here.

Also, I’m late on this week’s posts but plan to get them up in a few hours.  This weekend, I had an opportunity to disconnect from the internet and I took it.  Much needed realignment of mind and spirit.

Glad I did.  Looks like stupid is running amok with the liberals.
