I hope that you&#8217;ll find the wait was worth it. I&#8217;ve been having adventures, including one in particular that has changed all of my plans. I&#8217;d like to tell you all about it, so that&#8217;s exaclty what I&#8217;m going to do. Tell you all about it. Just not right now. For now I&#8217;ll say that my journey so far has taken me more than halfway around the world to a tropical paradise . I am currently in Sri Lanka, in a nice shack right on the beach. However, I am not living the life of a beach bum. I am busy-busy, creating a new podcast to take the place of this blog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the podcast, I will tell my stories right to you. More than that, I can entertain and educate you more directly. You&#8217;ll get to hear my voice, and maybe even some of the incredible people I&#8217;m meeting along the way, as well as hearing the amazing music and exotic sounds of my journey. I have a fantastic professional producer behind me, Ted Cragg of <a href=\"http:\/\/tedcragg.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"tedcragg.com\">Ted Cragg Podcasting<\/a>, turning my ramblings into a high-caliber audio extravaganza. It&#8217;s taken a bit, but we&#8217;ve worked out the technical details and are now busy with production. I&#8217;m not entirely sure what the show will sound like when we launch, and I&#8217;m sure it will evolve with time, but the voices in my head sound like a cross between a Rick Steves&#8217; travelogue, The Prairie Home Companion, and an Old Time Radio show. Or maybe it will turn out to be something completely different. Either way, we should all have a lot of fun with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you all again for your patience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/epaulrambleson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Jocky-Jolly.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-193\" width=\"245\" height=\"245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/epaulrambleson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Jocky-Jolly.jpg 490w, https:\/\/epaulrambleson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Jocky-Jolly-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/epaulrambleson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Jocky-Jolly-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 245px) 100vw, 245px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-center is-style-large is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;You should always have fun, because having fun is the most fun you can have.&#8221;<\/p><cite>\u2014 Jocky Jolly, <em>Fool to Jesters, and Jester to Fools<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-default\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know I have been absent for much longer than I intended, and I apologize for that.
