The hiatus I took was good for me, I've gained more perspective and I'd like to think I've matured a bit regarding what I will choose to use this forum for. When I stopped writing I was surprised by the response that I got. It meant a lot to me that people actually took the time to stop by and jump inside my head for a bit every week. Much has happened since the last time I wrote, I've found a job, I've become the captain of a race team, things are looking good for the moment. I'm even in a position where I should be able to spend more time with my son Garrett. I'm excited to see what the rest of this year brings, the first half has been a rollercoaster of excitement, dissapointment, and a splash of regret. Here's hoping the rest of the year is just as interesting and as much of a learning experience as the first half was.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;JD Out&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/545689285196462203-7255223847275483700?l=jdsterkenburg.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jdsterkenburg.blogspot.com/feeds/7255223847275483700/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jdsterkenburg.blogspot.com/2010/08/back-in-saddle.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/545689285196462203/posts/default/7255223847275483700'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/545689285196462203/posts/default/7255223847275483700'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jdsterkenburg.blogspot.com/2010/08/back-in-saddle.html' title='Back in the saddle.'/><author><name>JD Sterkenburg</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14012297322117824770</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IQkn0WElhGw/S6KeIkksLgI/AAAAAAAAAD8/V7YqIdF-0YQ/S220/coolj.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545689285196462203.post-7015243870404536058</id><published>2010-05-02T04:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-02T04:12:30.112-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hand me my nose ring</title><content type='html'>This blog has now gone underground, as it probably should have been in the first place.
