Begin Again
So no one was minding the store while I was away. Pity, huh? Seriously, though, the last six months have been overwhelmingly busy and I simply could not dedicate the time to this site. On more than one occasion, I at least thought of making a graceful re-entry. I even received a few requests and some suggestions via e-mail, but I couldn't make it back until I knew I was ready to give it the good old college try (whatever that means).
Much has happened in the half-year since I slipped into a blogless coma. I made my first trip to Europe; I was promoted; I moved into a nicer and larger apartment (which required that I mortgage the still unborn first-born). Yet so much has stayed the same: I still smoke too much; don't get nearly enough exercise; and I can't get off my duff to finally finish Infinite Jest. The time away has given me a chance to rethink the purpose and scope of this exercise. I know that before I mentioned a sense of organicism. I wanted the blog to take on a life of its own. Too an extent, that is still the goal. But I have ideas.
For now, that's about all I can offer. We'll see how things go. Hopefully, I'm here to stay.
