permission granted

many of you will remember that the month of march was a difficult one for me personally, but I think we can all agree that frank's new blog emerged from the legal trial and tribulations stronger than ever before. I wanted to share with you some more personal news, that being: 
  1. to start off, the courts have granted the deadline extension I requested on the community service hours requirement after they informed me that the time I spend here--serving the frank's new blog community--does not count towards my 100 community service hours "punishment" as I initially assumed. (still don't really understand why it doesn't, to be perfectly honest...)
  2. next, the courts have granted my request that the creation of a new public service announcement video series would fulfill my community service requirement (assuming the time spent creating said series meets or exceeds the 100 hour sentence).
the judge seemed to think it was a great idea for how I could give back and also show I had learned from my mistake, and I also think the same. he actually said, "what a creative way to serve a sentence." (I'm a renaissance man!) long story short, I've also gotten permission to post the public service announcement videos here on frank's new blog when they are finished! another cool thing to look forward to... maybe sometimes good things can come from bad things?

  1. Frank, I think I speak for all the loyal readers when I say there is a need for transparency here. We deserve to know what you did to get in legal trouble. When will the truth come out?

    2. dear anonymouses,
      thank you for your concern, but this is something very personal for me, and, I think you will remember, I debated greatly about even mentioning my weekend in jail and the connected legal trouble in the first place, but felt that I owed at least a brief explanation for my absence to my loyal readers. as they say, time heals all wounds... maybe some day I will let you know about it.

This place is a little dusty

Hm. This place is a little dusty. I bet you are wondering what on Earth I have been up to for the last 16 months! (Wow, that's a long ti...
