WAG - All right, it's confession time.



I’ve been both under the weather and lazy (and probably not in that order).

Allergy season has hit me hard. St. Louis has been named the third worst city for allergies (no, I don’t know how others ranked but why should it concern me if I’m not living there? That’s what I thought). It explains why I’m having one of the roughest summers-health wise.

I’ve never had my eyes threatening to pop out of their sockets before due to allergy pressure and… I’ll stop before continuing to list other information that is more telling but also more disgusting and just close this sentence by saying it’s been harsh.

Of course, that doesn’t excuse my multiple missed days which was a combination of losing access to the internet (when family visited) and outright apathy (caused by working hard and/or getting distracted by the Tony Awards, shiny objects, etc).

[The fact the computer has crashed 5 times since I first started trying to post this thing doesn’t discourage me either.]

I have many excuses for not updating recently, but few are worth the words it takes to explain them. I don’t blame other friends for being sporadic with their updates, but nevertheless I still feel bad for losing my continuity at my site.

As always, the lament is that there’s so much to write about and so little time to do so. My tendency is to write longer posts, since it is usually the only chance I get to write, but I don’t always feel like taking the time to do it right.

I don’t want to be posting just for the sake of posting. I DO work to produce things that are worth the time people take to read them. I know I don’t always keep my standards high enough (hence multiple posts that simply state “I’m tired, but aren’t you happy I still posted?”), but I will work on that more.

Anyway, I suppose this is simply a restatement of the intent of the site: to let you know what I’m up to and my view of the world, but keep it interesting as well.

Here’s hoping I might achieve that, someday…
