I am alive! It has been forever since I have done anything on this blog. The two loyal readers that I did have are now long gone. Consider this a rebirth of this adventure.
I have been quite busy with a lot of things…family, church, work…life and have neglected this. I want to get back into it because I want to improve my writing. I think what will work for me in the future is not so much long, narrative posts, but short bursts of goodness oozing full of flavor.
Stay tuned…
I just updated my blog to the new Tarski theme and added a custom header of the “frozen banditos” (from L2R):
- Eeyore
- Rabbit
- Pooh
- Tigger
Enjoy!

Jakob Neilsen suggests that of the traffic to any website:
“90% of users are lurkers who never contribute, 9% of users contribute a little, and 1% of users account for almost all the action.”
My stats thus far would sound a loud “here, here” with both problogger and Mr. Nielsen.
I have been away for a few days. Took the family to Florida for a funeral. The reason for the trip was not good, but the fellowship with friends and family in their time of grief was.
Be back soon.
