We have just returned from the woods but our vacation is not over yet. Much fun was had and we talked a lot about vacations and holidays. I have also recorded some of these conversations and they will be introduced as a new fancy weekly podcast called The ShaneCast. I think this will be the last podcast I do because I am doing way too many as it is. (Waiting for the pin drop here?)

I was going to wait and post something tomorrow night but due to the topic of conversation that dominated the last week, I couldn't let this one slide by. The Twitter stream for Shit My Dad Says had this to say the about holidays vs. vacations:

"You can't come...Because it's not a vacation if my family is with me. I could vacation in my fucking house if you people left it."

I will also say this: there is a real difference between vacations and holidays. Who knew... I will clean up some of the recordings and post them soon.

It has been a fun filled and exciting time these last few months. We've launched a great bunch of projects and are working on the next batch - but, for the next week, I am NOT available. I am heading into the woods and I won't be back until the 29th of August. I thought you all should know since I am sure you're just chomping at the bit and waiting for my next post. We've got people staying in our place, the pugs are at the Dog Hotel of awesome, and I think I am leaving my phone in a fish tank somewhere. 

I intend on writing and sorting some of those posts I have written but haven't published. I am having to call them "From The Vault" or something like that since there are so many of them, I lost count, and quite a few of them are more than a year old. It is one of those things that happens when you're trying to be all "creative and stuff". The creative stuff got a little out of hand and I wasn't able to complete them. That is the way it goes, I guess. You can't let yourself get bogged down in the details until you've got a first draft done.

Thus, I head into the woods to recharge the batteries for a week and get back a little perspective.

So long, suckas! See you on the flip side.
