It’s been a while. In fact, my last post here was February 24 (okay, I did a quick post earlier today, but this was originally going to be my first). I was considering giving all of this up and for a while, it was nice to take a break but I always thought that after a few weeks, a couple of months at most, I’d be back. I really never considered it would be nearly six months. I can’t say for certain, as I have before after taking a break, that I’m back for good, but I’d like to be because there’s so much to say and not nearly enough people writing about any of it (snark). I’m certain you can find better writing and more elucidating opinions elsewhere so don’t feel obligated to come here unless you are looking for a possible contrarian perspective on a topic somewhere in the news.
