Post for an unnamed critic who is also a Baltimore Orioles fan and works at Banana Republic

So, recently this blog has received some unjustified criticism from an avid reader. It seems that just because it's been a few days, weeks, or even months since I last updated this blog, I've been maliciously labeled as an "unblogger" or one of those horrible people who sets up a blog only so that they have a convenient place to find the links to all of their friends' blogs, and not so that they can actually make a contribution of their own to the literary/ bloggerary world at large.

So sue me. Maybe I do use my blog only as a superficial connection to my more ambitious and literary friends who by the way, I consider to be the creme de la creme of the blogging world. Maybe I don't update consistently. Or even semi-regularly. But where else can you find pictures of George W. Bush mountain biking? Or Will Ferrell commenting on the state of the current health care crisis? Or my random, disconnected ramblings, regardless of their "few and far between"ness?

Yep, that's what I thought. Now that I've added this, I think it's time to return to lesson planning. Yes, that is my only update. I assure you, any lack of posting is directly correlated to an increase in lesson planning, grading, and falling asleep- book in hand- at nine-thirty PM or earlier. I know, I know; it's an exciting life I lead. But please, try not to be too jealous. And try, just try, to wait a little while more, for details galore on our new lives in AZ. They might be just around the corner.

Then again, I may not post again for months and months! So don't hold your breath, and go read something interesting in the mean time.
