I'd like the apologize for the lack of updates recently on the First Hour. We've gone from five posts a week to three (and this week just two) due to a number of circumstances happening in my life. Over the summer I began to look for a new job and received an offer about a month ago for a position in a different state (but much, much closer to my family). The last few five weeks have been a wild ride of putting our house on the market, packing, moving, quitting my old job, starting my new job, and everything else that goes into dramatic life changes like I'm going through right now. Complicate things even more with my wife being pregnant with our second child (ultrasound today, it's another boy!) and yeah, it all feels like too much.

The site has definitely suffered from it, I wish I could quit my job and write full time, but that's not going to happen for a long time. Things are starting to settle down a bit, though we still have a house to sell and a baby to deliver in February, so who knows what will happen. I'm really grateful to everyone who's written for the site lately, especially Nate and Steve who continue to pump out extremely high quality content on a weekly basis.

And unless Paul can comment otherwise, I believe our podcast will be going on hiatus for a while too. We'd like to thank our moms for listening to that.
