Sorry for not writing sooner

Sorry for not having written in so long. I hardly have an excuse except for lacking time. I know that this blog will be very useful for me to look back on, and from some of the feedback, it has been quite entertaining and useful for others.

I've no other reason but for lack of time. Actually I do have other reasons, and I will explain. This whole blogging phenomena that has hit the internet (even Noam Chomsky, Michael Moore and George W. Bush are blogging) is new to me, and I feel I have to maneuvre it with care. So far the experience has been positive - it is an easy way for me to keep my friends and family updated. Also there's only been maybe one situation I know of where some posts/pictures have been used to tease others, prompting a consideration to restrict my already-restricted posts or even restrict access. I need only be as neutral and indecript as possible. I post what I would otherwise say publicly to friends and strangers who may be overhearing. The posts are not as personal as I would prefer, but not too personal as to embarrass anyone. Do feel free to get in touch if you object to content - but rest assured I do not publicize my blog, not even (for the time being) on my personal website- my blog interests only those who know me personally and is seen by those who have been informed by me personally or someone who has been informed by me personally.

Busy, with what?
My time has been split between my professional and personal pursuits. Nothing I want to describe soon until later. I cannot describe now. I will not. But I have to mention that being tight-lipped has nothing to do with Communism. Nothing. I repeat, it has NOTHING to do with Communism. Just because I am volunteering the fact that it has nothing to do with Communism should not suggest in any way that it does. Because it doesn't. Can we drop it? I'll pick it back up later.

With that, I have about 20 topic subjects to blog about. I welcome your visits and, as always, your feedback. On with the show.
