What's Up?

So what have you been up to the last six weeks? Me, I've been doing the usual -- buying a house, selling a house, starting a new job, moving halfway across the country, flying all over the place.

It's been difficult to find a topic to post about; typically, the best blog entries are ones that focus on something small and extrapolate some larger truth. With all the huge stuff going on, I worry that the opposite would happen, and whatever I posted would end being trite. Or, you know, triter than usual.

But as the weeks went by I started worrying about my dozens of loyal readers going elsewhere, so here's a post. The short version of events is that I'm ridiculously busy, so busy that I haven't had time to blog about any of the things I might otherwise have: my vacation, Joe Biden, the four-eared cat, the fact that Toby Keith is a Democrat, Zosia's 4th birthday, the Olympics, and any number of other things that have happened recently. But I promise I'll be back (semi-)regularly come next week, and your daily reading experience will be all the richer for it.
