The Dragon Chronicles, Part 1: The Quest of Life....

Well, October is here and life seems to be moving faster than ever. Work, volleyball games, and the demands of being a homeowner. Hardly any time for family or friends, let alone hobbies. As I pass another birthday, I find myself thinking that I should make the most of every opportunity to do the things I was born to do. Music, family, friends, and enjoying life are what make me what I am. I need to find a way to keep doing them all. Finding a decent job in my chosen profession...making sure to leave enough time to enjoy the people that really count...playing if there's time left...that is the quest ahead of me. Distraction, discouragement, and fear of survival are the dragons I so fear!

....So I don my armor, take up sword and shield, mount my valiant steed, and charge off on the mighty quest into the unknown after that holiest of grails: a sense of purpose for being in this world and the conquering of the impossible!....
