Every time I'd think to sit and write I'd tell myself to avoid all the political crap that is in the air. Since that was all that was on my mind, or at the very least, the front of my mind, it was rather difficult to find something else to talk about...and so I avoided it all.
But, popular demand requires me to return...okay...I only got one poke but I figure that one person represents the vast majority of the American population, the rest being reticent to intrude no doubt.
Beyond, and besides, all that life, in the form of various slings and arrows, jumped up and bit me on the ass. I haven't had a proper blog-slog for about a week. And that's just plain wrong. I had several very long days on the road and a few full family functions (fun?). It all took me away.
I could also blame, though I won't, my dear pal Fra Ogood. He's been at my elbow (mostly while it's being bent) egging me on.
But there is good news! I got my book jones back. And to top that off, I also got my girls to read Heinlein. This, to me, is very cool. Girly-girl Ogood deigned to allow as "Door into summer" was a good story. As a fourteen year old she clearly has critc's chops.
Spring has also sprung here in sunny California. You can tell that it is spring by the green of the hills, the warmth of the afternoons and the prescence of so many undocumented tourists in the grape fields and factories (doing all those jobs that Americans won't do, doncha know). |I'm told that every Californian pays out about $1200 every year in state tax to cover the cost of illegals for health and other social services...which must be available, by law, because, I guess, they are services that other Californians won't use or something...but I did say "don't get me started" so I won't|
Anyhow...life is good. However everything that doesn't piss me off seems to disappoint and that's not very nice.
I'm into season 4 of "The Shield", I've only one episode of Battlestar Gallactica remaining and two discs of HBO's "John Adams" to see. I'm cooking through various summer-read type books and Queen Ogood has a brand new copy of "Max" that is calling to me. So, yeah, life is good.
Oh...and Fra Ogood and I are both...

Sounds as though you may have kicked that plague you had a couple of weeks ago, I hope that is the case. Hope spring keeps you sprung as well, Sir. *weg*
Oh...by the way...the pope asked me to say "hey".
And, good job, you informed without "getting me started". Danke.
