That is right... I took a vacation from blogging. I haven't missed more than a handful of days in two years on my blog at LaneBailey.com. I have pre-written posts, and even post-dated a couple by a few hours.
But the last post I put up on that blog was Sunday. I have posted two posts to A|R in the same period. I took a break... I even skipped my regular posts to LaneBailey.info and Lilburn Dwellings.
So, what would be so important as to make me skip blogging for 5 days?
(Mike Mueller is going to love this...)
HOCKEY CAMP
OK, actually, my kid's hockey camp. I have been kind of immersed. He has spent 5 days playing hockey and having a blast at the Come And Get It Hockey Camp. Three hours of ice time each day, two hours of off-ice training, two meals and some movie time. This is his second time with this camp... he went in June, too. And I have been building a website for the school, CAGIhockey.com. (It is Joomla, if anyone is interested)
Shooting pictures and video, talking with the kids, helping get the little guys in their gear, hanging out with some moms and dads, talking to the pro players that volunteered for the camp... I have been a busy guy... I have spent more time at the Duluth Ice Forum than I thought I would... and I thought I would spend a lot of time there this time.
It has been a blast. I'm really excited about getting the site fully deployed. We have some great ideas. It is a really cool camp, and I feel that it is a worthwhile investment of my time to help out with the site. Dan Sullivan, a player for the Gwinnett Gladiators and the guy that started the camp, is obviously well respected among his peers. NHL players, ECHL players and former players gathered to play with the kids and teach them more about the game.
I'll be back into my regular swing tomorrow (Saturday). I'll be rested and ready to hit the road at speed. I already have a few posts that I know need out of my head. Thank you for your patience...

I'd love to hear from you...
Lane - Let me get this right. You are from Georgia and your kids are playing Hockey in Duluth...Hockey USA? That is impressive. I am originally from MN and my son-in-law played basketball for Duluth East and the U of M before turning pro. Fun post.
Kent - Actually, it would be the Duluth Ice Forum in Duluth, GA. We have two professional hockey teams that practice there, as well as lots of high school hockey and even college hockey. But I used to live up in MN, and have been to Duluth, MN a few times...
Lane,
I do love it. It is addicting. HOpe that you are enjoying the hockey with your family.

Ginger - I do enjoy the time watching him... and he likes doing it.
When I read this I did think you meant Duluth, MN. Had to check your location. Glad hockey is alive and well in the south.
Carol - I understand. When I first moved here from MN, I thought about Duluth, MN first myself.
sounds to me like a great use of your time! The real estate stuff will ALWAYS be there, but your kid will grow up before you know what happened...
Janna - The real estate stuff IS important. But the kids are important, too. Just takes some balance...
