I am so embarrassed

I have been posting to this blog for five years and while I'd like to say that I've never missed a day, the fact is, I did miss a day or two that first year. This was long before I figured out how to write seven or ten blog posts on a weekend and then just post them one at a time over the next week. When I first started, I sat down at my desk and composed each day's post that day. It was a lot of pressure and my new technique removed that pressure.

Well, since that time, I have never missed a day. That is up until this week. There is a reason but no excuse. My stepson, Perry, got married last weekend and we were in Chicago for the wedding. Well, you might put two and two together and think the two events were related. After all, there ain't no such thing as a coincidence. And to some degree, it is true. But the fact of the matter is, I had the posts written and ready to go and just got too busy catching up from the trip and I forgot to post an entry on Wednesday, August 9, 2017.

As I said, there is a reason but it is not an excuse. There is none. I feel I have a duty to keep up the unbroken string and I failed. Maybe you don't feel that way but I do. I apologize. I promise I will buckle down and try and make it all the way to the end without missing one more entry. It was important for me to finish Tales of the Vuduri with a perfect record and now I can only finish with a nearly perfect record. If you don't win, you lose.

So again, I apologize. Let's move on.
