It's been a long time, blog. Don't look at me like that, my pen hasn't seen much action lately either.
Regarding my long-lasting vacation from this blog, my only excuse is that my creativity took a sabbatical, only after flipping me the bird and riding off into the sunset with my intellectual stability. Zed (my muse, remember) was totally apathetic and I suspect he's enjoyed all that time off. My sense of humor became bipolar, ranging from maniacal giggle-fits over inappropriate and/or infantile subject matters to stone-faced sober head shaking at truly humorous things. Life changes, children grow, and you relearn to appreciate the comedy in ill-timed bodily functions and shocking revelations. But I ramble.
I've recently learned that I'll be having a lot more free time in the near future, thanks to a failing economy and the consideration of the company I work for to schedule a mandatory meeting at the buttcrack of dawn, which I had to drive to in the pouring rain for 45 minutes, sharing the road with people who apparently have never driven in rain before. A mandatory meeting which, we were told, we were absolutely required to attend or we would lose our jobs.
Well played, irony, well played.
So I'm obviously tired and rusty at the whole making-a-joke-that's-more-funny-than-bitter thing, but the point is that I'm back. Contain your excitement, I know, it's hard.
More to come...
