I’ve Moved!
November 20, 2008
So I’m sure that most people have noticed that the site has been offline for a few days. There’s a reason for that, which I will get to shortly. But first, let me just say this:
In fact, I am blogging at a new site I have just finished setting up: kennethhynek.net. A full explanation for the reasons behind the move can be found here
.
That said, this is not the end of Time Immortal. My wife Grace has expressed interest in taking over blogging at this domain, and I am working to make sure that she gets set up here as soon as possible.
Also, my profound apologies for the modification to the site face; the move was not as seamless as I would have hoped, and many of the image files for this theme, and in the gallery, were corrupted during the course of their evacuation from my previous web host’s servers. Until such time as I have repaired them, I’ve put a clean-looking template in place of the previous one.
Update: for the purposes of further traffic shaping, new posts from kennethhynek.net will be excerpted below. Full articles can be read at the new blog.
Off to England!
July 23, 2007
Well, I’m off to England, as of about 8:00 this evening (the flight’s scheduled departure time is 7:55 PM, but it’s also Air Canada, so we’ll see how close they come to hitting that mark). I leave England on August 11th, and I have honestly got no idea when and if I will be able to get near the internet long enough during that time to post anything to the site, or even to check my email.
Which means I’m going to have one very full inbox when I get back.
Anyhow, for the next three weeks or so, I’ll be spending most of my time in Hylands Park, which is north-east of London, participating in the 21st World Scout Jamboree — which, incidentally, also marks and commemorates the centenary of Scouting. I’ll be attending the camp as an IST, an ‘offer of service’ — basically, I’m going there to help run one of the events.
Currently, as far as I have heard, I am going to be working with the Faith and Beliefs component of the camp, and while I haven’t the first clue what that entails, I imagine that it will basically involve me spending a lot of my day talking with kids about Catholicism. Which should be a lot of fun, I expect. I will, of course, have the camera in tow, so hopefully I will be able to bring back lots of pictures for everyone to enjoy…although admittedly, most of them will probably be of the Jamboree, since I don’t expect there will be much time for sightseeing while I am there.
I’ve worked hard to make sure that the buffer of “Pics of the Day” is well-stocked, and it should be sufficient, O Reader, to last until well after August 11th…so keep checking back for new photographs on a daily basis. I promise that there are some good ones in the queue.
Now, with all that preamble out of the way, here’s the important stuff to be said.

Grace, I love you so very much, and I will try and find out what sort of options are open to me for phoning home as soon as I get to England. I’ll miss you so dearly each and every day I’m gone, and rest assured that I’ve printed a handful of pictures of you to adorn various day-to-day things I’ll be using — there’s even a small photo of you taped to the camera.
You’ve been the most special, wonderful person in my life since the day I met you, and I look forward to seeing you again when I land in Canada. Your smiling face and your dancing eyes can always lift my spirits, and I already want to hear your soft voice again.
Say a prayer for my safe travel, love, and I will figure out what the best way is to get in touch with you as soon as I land. I can’t wait for August (or, come to think of it, October)!
Mom, Dad, Megan, Katie, Carmen, and Simon, I miss all of you, and all I can ask is for your prayers for a safe trip. I look forward to seeing everyone when I get back (including you, Meg, if you do happen to visit in mid-to-late August).
Family and friends: I miss all of you as well, and I ask for your prayers for a safe trip as well. I look forward to seeing you all again when I get back as well.
And to everyone, I look forward to sharing stories and pictures when I return, and I hope that you all have a great middle-of-summer.
