Has it been that long?!?!

Whew. I just notice that it had been almost a week between posts. Between work, illness and a certain fifth birthday this has been a crazy time. But fear not, dear reader (there must be some of you out there!) I'll not let this long delay happen again if I can help it. Please consider this an opportunity to tell me on which subjects you'd like to hear more of my pontificating. I've been fairly conservative (from a selection point of view) on what I've blogged on thus far, but I get the feeling that may go by the wayside soon - serious times, and serious subjects, require serious responses.
