Time.

They say that time flies by much faster as you grow older and boy are they right. I?m not that old yet, but at age 45, it races by at a lightning pace. I planned to have a lot more going on here at Horror Drive-In, and I?m trying. It?s just that the amount of time I have seems so limited. I?m trying to run the whole ball game, with Deena?s assistance, and it?s proving to be a daunting task.

I?ve gotten quite a few offers from generous individuals to help with reviews and stuff, but I?m hesitant. I don?t really want the site to lose the flavor that I?m looking for. No matter how good the writer may be.

I?ve also got a couple of interviews planned and I?m in the middle of one and I just can?t seem to find enough time. Without giving this place my entire life, anyway. I have an extremely demanding job and we?re working out daily at the Y again. I watch a movie a night and we have kids. One thing I believe in about raising children: You?ve got to do things as a family in order to keep it all together.

Then there is a little matter of reading. It takes quite a while to read a book. For me, anyway. I don?t speed read and I don?t skip. I have a bunch of books that I want to review for the site, and there are quite a few that I just feel like reading for my own pleasure.

Oh, and the Ebay stuff! That?s a hell of a lot of work as well.

Sometimes I just feel like throwing in the towel. I love Matt and Shocklines, but it was such a tremendous relief to not have to worry about everything that goes on there. A sense of freedom. But now I feel like I?ve gotten behind here. I?m not posting reviews as often as I want to, and I?m not doing enough interviews. Plus, the message board should be more active. It?s up to the moderator to keep things lively.

I hear about people being bored and I don?t know whether to feel contempt or jealous. It?s been years and years since I?ve experienced the slightest amount of boredom. I don?t think that an idle life is good for anyone, despite what the slackers might say, but damn, I?d love to be able to take it easy more. I guess that?s not in the cards for Yours Truly.

If anyone cares (or is even reading this), what would YOU like? Should I take my time and post what I can, when I can? Or get some help?
