Taking Off...and..."Going Dark!"

after take-off, originally uploaded by Dom Dada.

Today I'm taking off...shuffling off to Buffalo...or as Jack Bauer, the protagonist on the television series "24" would say, "I'm going dark!"

The next few weeks of my life will be filled with thrills, chills, grills, and hopefully no spills. Finally, after almost a year, me and my gang will return to the water's edge (that's the beach, for those of you who haven't read my book yet) over Spring Break and then it's "over the river and through the woods, to Grandma's house we go."

For the next several weeks, I'll be on the move, and on many occasions--far from a modem, cell-phone, Internet connection, or other electronic devices. So, I'm "going dark."

So from now until April 17th, LiveTheRed.com is going "bye-bye." I know, the heartbreak is almost overwhelming. Never fear, like the Terminator (only think of me as the "Sermonator")...I'll be back!

What to do for the next 30 days without LiveTheRed.com? Visualize world peace. For that matter, you could join the Peace Corps. Invent a better mouse trap. I'm sure if you do, the world will beat a path to your door.

If none of those options work, you could always go back and re-read the first 276 postings. Think of it as a trip down memory lane. Or, you could go to Amazon.com and type in "Breakfast on the Beach: Finding God at the Water's Edge." Order my book and read it over the next month. Whether you're at the beach or not, you'll be glad you did.

I'll see you back here on April 17th...if not before. In the meantime, you know what to do...

Live The Red,

Mark
