We’re Not Dead – Yet
by unexcusedabsences 8 Oct 2019Heather says: What the heck happened to Heather and Kent? Wow — it’s been 15 months since our last post! A few kind readers have asked if all is well and expressed concern for us.
Yes, we are fine! In fact, the last 15 months looked an awful lot like the preceding 15. Nothing much changed for us, and we simply got caught up living life rather than taking the time to document it. In fact, it’s been pretty fun.
Last you heard, we were just finishing our spring/summer cruise in the Bahamas in 2018. To recap the missing months, we returned the Miss Adventure to Florida for hurricane season. Then, it was off to France for another season cruising on Après Ski involving more bread, cheese and friends along the waterways where Heather (finally!) achieved a long-time goal of visiting every room open to the public in the Louvre.
We did enjoy a fresh adventure with the Minister of Leisure and gang when we sailed in Croatia for a few weeks in the early fall of 2018. The small villages with stone quays provided a picturesque backdrop to our visit. We found the ancient culture emerging from communism engaging.
After the Holidays, we headed to Vail and spend time skiing and socializing in the Happy Valley. Then, it was back to the Bahamas in the spring of 2019 to participate in lobster season, fishing, snorkeling and socializing. At the end of the season, we returned the Miss Adventure to Florida for hurricane season. What next? Well, it was off to France for another season cruising on Après Ski. Sound familiar?
Kent here: For the most part we think, and you’ll probably agree, that this website has run its course. We’ve certainly had a lot of fun creating it, and we hope you’ve enjoyed reading it, but it’s probably time to move on. There are still new adventures percolating, in fact we’re going to drop one more post on the subject soon, and we may eventually go back and fill in the “missing” year from summer 2018 to present, but for now this is pretty much it for unexcusedabsences.com. Know that we’ve certainly enjoyed your comments and occasional criticisms, and we hope that following along has been a net plus for everyone.
So, thanks for reading, and stay well.
