Brian's memorial & Writer's overload

Several people have mentioned to me lately that they miss my blog and wonder what had happened to me.  Can I still use a keyboard?  Do I still have an Internet connection?  What's up?

Well, the simple answer is that I am now responsible for so many publications that this one (Too Old to Know Better) gets short shrift.  Let's see...

I coordinate and maintain the blog for the company I retired from and still consult

www.altaregional.org  

I co-produce the newsletter for our local Mormon ward

and, most recently I volunteered to put together a Memorial Website for my nephew Brian Russell who dies April 12. I really like the idea of having a single place, accessible 24-7 from anywhere in the world where people  can write their condolences or memories of the deceased. I first learned of such Memorials when a friend of mine from my mission died.  Brian's memorial is located at

http://brian-russell.last-memories.com/

I felt honored that Brian's parents have allowed me to do this and grateful that Last Memories has the tools and templates to make my product look good.  I've had to learn or relearn a lot of small things such as cropping photos and uploading video files.  This hosting site encourages the usse of YouTube so I've uploaded files to YouTube now.

So if you don't see as much happening on this blog as usual, it may be because I have too many blogs on the fire.
