Lack of Posting
Sorry about the lack of posting friends. I normally don’t write that much on summer weekends anyway, but lately I’ve felt a distinct ennui, especially about politics and world events. Like this bit about how the Russians took prisoners in Georgia today and appropriated some US Humvees:

Lifted
Oddly, almost immediately after writing last evening’s post, my depression lifted apruptly and quickly.
I’m more convinced than ever it was something chemical.
Jury Duty
I have jury duty all week, so it’ll be light posting.

I have a sitemeter and a blogroll again.
Good times…
Back
I probably won’t be doing a lot of blogging this week. I’ve a long history of back problems as well as recurrent carpal tunnel syndrome, the latter brought on by a writing career, and both came together in unholy matrimony this weekend. On Friday and Saturday, I could barely turn my head in [...]
