Back burner

I had planned to update today why I have been so negligent of this Weblog. So, a comment to a post not withstanding, I needed to share that this activity has been on the back burner fo rme for about two weeks.

Simply put, I have been busy -- not the kind of busy that means stayinglate at school or spending every minute in front of a computer screen researching. Instead it has been the kind of busy that leaves a person drained mentally. Over the past two weeks, I have had a lot going on in my mind, so when I get home after a pretty long day, I don't have the mental energy to focus on crafting writing for this Weblog. That has been disappointing as I had gained a certain pride from the fact that in August, September and most of October, I had posts for the number of days in the months. That's a lot for me since my posts are original usually and not just a "check this out" kind of link.

I have ideas aplenty -- I mean, the Bush Administration alone shluld be able to give a half dozen or more morsels for my skewer. But I won't try to go back and recap prior events. Instead, I'll just refocus and move on. This blog is pretty good cryptotherapy for me, so I need to carve out time for it often.

Movies, plays, politics, school and travel -- look for it all in coming days.
