-"Now, 'mostly dead' is 'slightly alive'; 'all dead,' well, with all dead there's usually only one thing that you can do. -What's that? -Go through his clothes and look for loose change."
Anyone who doesn't know the above quote will have to turn in their geek and/or nerd card(s). No exceptions.*
I was going to postulate that this has been the longest interval of non-posting by me on this blog, with the exception of the interval between my technically very first post and my 'actual' first post, but as I actually check, it's not. It does appear to be the 2nd longest, though (the longest being the nearly two month period from December, 2015 and February, 2016). As always, I blame that most dreaded of all four-letter words (W-O-R-K) for this.
But in addition to Maynard G. Krebs nemesis, a lack of topics does come into play as well. I still marvel at how Geoff Hanna was able to post (nearly) every weekday for such a long period of time. Oh, sure - sometimes the posts were nothing more than postcards, but they were still posts nonetheless.
Truth be told, I don't really have a topic for this specific post, either. At least, not yet. It is possible that one will pop-up while I'm writing, but I'm not going to count on that. But after approx. 6 weeks in abstentia, I wanted to at least post something. Even if only about the reports of my demise being greatly exaggerated.
So there you go.
Unfortunately that four-letter word is still causing havoc with my free time. I'm almost to the point of seriously wondering what "free time" is. But there does appear to be a light at the end of the tunnel. I'm just hoping it doesn't become an on-coming train.
I could use a vacation. Or better yet, a paid leave of absence. Or chocolate - chocolate would be good. Not as good as a vacation, but still good. I do have some cashews, though. Not quite as good as chocolate, but probably better for me.
Ah, if only I had some chocolate covered cashews.
...but I digress...
