In case you haven’t noticed, I haven’t been around on the social media scene much lately. No blog posts, no Twitter tweets, not much social interaction at all. I know this has some of you a little concerned (you’ve called me!) and so I thought I’d take a minute to try and explain my absence.

There’s a little thing called life that seems to creep in every now and again and well, recently, life has come up and plain smacked me on the back of the head! It started innocently enough, a small leak in the bathroom, whereabouts unknown, just a pool of water near the shower area. Mop it up and keep going, I thought, but then it would reappear again a short time later. Well, as luck would have it, one morning, while preparing to go to work, I noticed a small “tear” in the floor of the shower. Upon closer investigation, it was about 2 inches in length, so I got some RTV Sealant and repaired the hole. Low and behold, the water stopped appearing…for about three days. Then the water returned again, this time, with a vengence. I looked at my repair job and found the tear was now about 6 inches long. More RTV Sealant later, mission accomplished….for about three days. I was starting to see a pattern here, and then noticed that the tear was now almost a foot long. Time to call in the landlord. Fortunately, I rent from my parents. My Dad comes over, looks at the shower and then notices that the floor around the shower is “giving” more than it should. The next day, my Dad and Brother-in-law, come over and pull the shower enclosure and find that the floor beneath the shower is almost gone! Dad says that we have to replace, not only the shower, but the entire floor. Now the fun begins!

We began removing the flooring and subfloor from the bathroom, not an easy task. Following that, we found that the floor joists were almost none existant! I think you can see from here, why I haven’t been around much lately!

Well, now almost a week later, we have new joists installed, a new subfloor and floor and are patiently waiting for the new enclosure to arrive. I still have some painting to do (My Wife decided it would be a great time to remodel the bathroom, go figure) and the floor tile to install and hopefully, I will be back in the social media saddle again within a week or so. Of course, now that my Wife has caught the remodeling bug, I may have some lapses from time to time!

So that’s why I haven’t been around. I will be on my show, Podcaster Training tomorrow night and have already planned out the topic, just have to do the show notes. We’ll be talking about Casting Your Net For Listeners. Mainly, how to reel in more listeners.

See you tomorrow night!
