The non-announcement post: A preview without substance

For the last few weeks, I’ve been sitting on some news that I really want to announce, but it’s not quite ready to be shared yet.

Mind you, I’ve still told a few friends and family. I just haven’t formally announced it yet.

And then, a second bit of news came along. Guess what – I can’t say anything about that one either.

It’s all good news, but for now, I can’t get into any of the details. So now you know, except you don’t know. Sorry for dragging you into this as well.

They say these things travel in threes. I wonder if a third thing will come along before I announce one of the other two? It had better hurry up, because it’s only going to be a couple of days until the first announcement…

Have you ever had some news you’re aching to share but you can’t? Tell me about it in the comments.

    Dont be coy!! You gonna be a dad? You won the lottery? Met some aliens?…

    Nope!

    Hmmm… think I’d know if the first two happened. Not sure I want to know about the third! :-p

    I’m going to guess it’s something about work.

    I don’t have an announcement, but there’s a LOT going on in my home life that I’ve only barely mentioned on my blog due to extenuating circumstances. I do plan on writing the whole sordid story eventually, but when that happens is not up to me.

    I hate walking around with news I can’t talk about, it is as you say, aching. When my daughter were born I wanted to share every picture I took of her but I once decided not to do that. Its though cause I want to show her to every one in the world. :)

    I thought it was going to be about being a Dad too. :) I am awful at keeping secrets. My friends know this and have gotten past the idea of telling me anything they really want kept secret. It’s not that I am an endless talker, I just like being honest and that tends to get in the way of keeping something secret.

    So Ben, whats up? :D

    All will be revealed… soon!
