Checking In

Now that the ranks of my followers have swelled to double digits, I felt compelled to do a brief check in. I am aware that not only have you yet to receive any logoed merchandise since signing up, you have now not received a new blog entry in three-plus days. Please know that I have taken these egregious conditions to blog management, and you should expect a dramatic uptick in service going forward.

In all seriousness, I have been sidelined by two quite unpleasant events- the malfunction of my home computer and a Toastmasters speech on Monday night. It’s hard to say which of these was more painful, the slow drip torture of several days with limited contact with the outside world (computer failure) or the six minute waterboarding session that is a Toastmasters speech. Thankfully, both of these issues have come to merciful conclusions. The computer is up and running again, and my Toastmasters evaluator was eventually compelled to bring her constructive criticism to a long overdue end.

Anyway, I have to run. The season finale of Fresh Meat II: The Challenge is about to begin.
