Post-beta Hiatus: Will be back 1/1/2010
Hey guys,
I really hate to be flaking like I have lately. I get such support from everyone that comes here, I can’t tell you all how thankful I am for the feedback you all give me.
It’s the holiday season which means get-togethers with family and friends. It’s also the gift-giving season; I work for FedEx Express and this past week and coming week are our busiest of the year, making sure your packages get from you to your loved ones safely and in time for the holidays. I’m working longer hours than usual (which is a good thing, believe me!) but am also in a position where I have to make some sacrifices in other areas of my life.
I have friends in the city currently who go to college out of town, and this time of year is too valuable an opportunity to miss spending time with them. All will be graduating this spring (if they didn’t this past weekend!) and most will be scattered throughout the country following graduation. As we are all unsure when we will be able to see one another next, opportunities to spend time together are becoming precious.
Due to my work schedule, Mondays are the best time for me to spend with these people - many of you know that Mondays are also when I shoot all my videos for the week. I simply can’t do both, much as it pains me to let the website go lacking for any period of time.
I thank you all for understanding that I need to take a break until the new year so I can spend time with friends. I encourage all of you to do the same - commit to make the time now, and throughout the coming year, to spend time with those you love.
I am 110% committed to being back regularly 1 January 2010. I’m also hoping to have the site redesigned to be a bit more visually friendly, and will have picked a name for the show - someone out there can expect to hear from me about a copy of Crush It! Why Now is the Time to Cash In on Your Passion by Gary Vaynerchuk.
Again, I apologize for the flakiness lately. But think of it this way - fall 2009 was the beta test for the website, we’ve all learned a bit about how things are working around here, and I’m ready to push this site to the next level. I REALLY want to put a ton of energy into this blog in 2010 and also connect with cocktail enthusiasts around the world - your endless support drives me each and every day. I cannot put into words how grateful I am to have the small community I enjoy here.
So, without further adieu… Enjoy these next two weeks, spend time with your loved ones, and mark your calendars to check back on 1 January 2010. I’m really excited for what the new year will bring, and look forward to sharing the experience with you.
Cheers!
Ken Moorhead
