It is 9:37 according to the grandfather's clock in the dining room. It has been for several days. I haven't updated my blog since …. and today, my server failed; too much junk piled up in the logs needing to be cleared.

I am sitting at a coffee shop in Middletown, waiting for a meeting to start. I take a sip of coffee, and my raspy cough makes a brief reappearance. It has been a week since I've written a blog post; a very busy week, a tiring week, but a good week.

My brother has gotten me an invite to a game called Ingress. It is an Android based augmented reality game. It requires walking around to various portals. It has gotten me out walking more, which has been needed after a too sedentary winter. There is much more to be written about this in terms of multi-media non-linear gamified creativity.

My daughter, Miranda, has gotten an inquiry from a publisher about her book. We will see where that goes. I'm still dealing with lots of issues around my mother's estate. There is lots of interest in the house and we are hoping to finalize selling it soon.

Over the weekend, I was at the CT Health Foundation's Health Leadership Fellows Spring Retreat. It was a good weekend, exploring lots of ways to stretch my leadership skills. I read parts of my blogs for the talent show, which was well received.

I've been thinking the cough was allergies, but I've had a few symptoms of a virus. Whatever it is, I'm run down and looking for a chance to rest and recharge. At least I've gotten a blog post up. Maybe later, I'll even get a chance to reset the time on the grandfather's clock.
