I am just getting back in the habit of writing after taking an unscheduled 2-3 month break. Now I’m getting settled back into a routine and life is good. Feedburner shows that in my downtime, my subscriber base went from over 650 to around 500 and it’s interesting, the drop occured suddenly, in a single day. So, I’m not sure that I really lost anyone or not.
It reminds me of what Andy Stanley said in the last session of Catalyst last year. If you left early and think you can just listen to this session on the CD, then you’re a loser! So, if you left here early, then you’re a loser. Of course, how would you know because you aren’t here. I’ve thought more than once about shutting this blog down and honestly, I can’t do it, so know there may be some down time from time to time. 
Speaking of Catalyst, I’m am pumped about being at Catalyst again this year. There’s a big group of us meeting up there from all over the country and it’s going to be a blast! If you’re going to be there, let me know, I would love to connect with you.
Comment, send me an e-mail or give me a call, my number is here. Catalyst is very much a life changing event and one that should not be missed.
Of course, the CIT roundtable is that same week and I will miss it unfortunately. That is another event that shouldn’t be missed but for me, Catalyst takes precedence. I’ll try to catch up with the CITRT gang next time, for sure. I know of a couple of other CITRT’ers that will be with me at Catalyst, so maybe we’ll have an offsite roundtable.
I’ll be doing some streaming from Catalyst, in between sessions and after hours and I think some others will be doing the same so stay tuned for that. I’ll post my uStream link later.
Yea — I know the feeling there . . . I’m just working on getting my blog up and going. I did have a little bit of success when I posted the Google Chrome browser article — had someone contact me to have some quotes for an article. That was interesting . . . but it’s the lack of feedback that I’m dealing with. I’m fairly new to the RSS/blog/trackback/etc…. stuff so perhaps I’m not doing all the right stuff yet . . but that’s what I’m learning new things for.
Jim, I feel at times you and I are living parallel lives. Many of your posts are dead on what I have been going through and thinking, including shutting down the blog. Somedays I say, “God, just tell me when, where, what and how you want me to do what you want me to do.”
By the way, I will be at Catalyst. I hope to see you there.
