Unproductive lately...

Since the last blog post was named "Productive Lately" and was posted in October, it's apropos that this one be titled "Unproductive" because that's just what I've been.

The family had a wonderful holiday. I've been really busy with work lately. But to be honest the real source of my lackadaisical attitude can be summed up in two words: Candy Crush.

Yes, friends, I have succumbed to the addiction.

Hello. My name's Bryce, and I'm a crushaholic.

It's my wife's fault. I listened to her frustrations and triumphs as she moved from level to level and wondered what all the fuss was about. And just like a drug, you try a little to see. Then you try a little more because you liked it. Next thing you know, you're on the street peddling lurid favors for strangers to feed your addiction. Ok, maybe that was just me.

Then came Candy Crush Soda. It's like they added crack to heroin.

I've tinkered during the break: a pen here and there, a driftwood iPad stand (which I can't find now...), but no serious work and certainly nothing actually finished.

But I've reached the first of 12 steps. I admit I am powerless over Candy Crush.

11 to go ...
