I regret to announce that I no longer get to be a writer. My day job, the one that pays the mortgage, is consuming pretty much all my waking hours. That means there isn’t much point in maintaining a blog until my situation changes. Farewell. www.ricknovy.com
Just a quick note today. Russell and I are heading up to Flagstaff early tomorrow morning. No update tomorrow night as I will be in a tent. I hope to have some photos for sunday or monday night. www.ricknovy.com
