Let me guess the question you may have been asking during my two month absence on the blogosphere: where the hell have you been?

I have written and re-written this post at least five or six times over the past two weeks and I can't quite figure out how to communicate what I want to say openly with out sounding pretentious/arrogant/ridiculous so I'll just say this. The simpler answer to that question is: living.

After a very rough fall, and a great conversation with Dick Pritchard - a professor of mine who was visiting in November - I started to make some changes in my life.

Changes in work. Changes in relationships. Changes in priorities.

But single-handedly the greatest thing that I have finally stopped putting off and just took the plunge to do was getting my pilots license. It's been a dream of mine since I was 12. 15 Years later I am going for it. Maybe just a tad earlier than I feel financially comfortable doing so. But I am going for it.

But that in and of itself was part of the change. Rarely are my decisions based on the moment. Nothing is done just "because I want to."

Some of you dwell in the past. Most of you are probably fairly balanced. Me? I am obsessed with the future. And while much of that will never change as it is a part of who I am, the conversation with Dick corrected the path a bit.

I'll still be writing on here some, but probably not as much as I did in the past. Partially because I have lost some of my zeal and passion for this particular area of my life. For a while I have been "forcing it." But also because fast tracking the pilots license and some of the other changes have left little extra time. And I am perfectly ok with that.

If you want to follow the flying progress you can do so at www.andyborgmann.com/Flight/. It's kind of boring now (although I did go to Thomasville and Huntsville), but I promise in the next month it will get a bit more exciting. I've only almost killed myself twice, so I feel like so far that is a good record :) As they always say, "any landing you can walk away from is a good one."
