Remember me?

I’m still around, even though I haven’t posted in almost – sheesh! – 2 weeks.

So I’m back. As I said elsewhere, I’ve been thinking mostly about politics lately and I didn’t want to turn this into a political blog just yet. I also wanted to move away from mostly medical issues – though I do have more things to say on that front in the near future.

I’ve been trying to move forward with some stuff and I’m working on that – Vague? Who me? My wife has been having a particularly bad time of it for the past 3 – 4 weeks so I’m not going to do anything that interferes with helping her. Well, I’m going to be an ass about some things because I have issues that I don’t deal with all that well, but I’m not going to intentionally do anything that will interfere with her getting better.

But November is looming and there is something in there that is attracting my attention. It has fixed me with its steely gaze and unblinking eye – wait, that’s just the CBS logo – and is trying to lure me with promises of indescribable pleasures too much for mortal man to comprehend, endure or resist and that are probably illegal in 17 states. I am being enticed by creative extravagance, or perhaps insanity, and wild individual artistic abandon. OK, it’s much more prosaic than that, but…

It’s a crazy idea. It’s an impossible idea. It’s ridiculous to even consider let alone attempt. But it could be fun – keep in mind that my idea of fun is a little warped.

That’s all I’ll say on that matter for now. I’ll put up some more on my condition and similar things in the future and maybe some boring daily stuff. That ought to keep you just sitting on the edge of your seat waiting for more.

But there just might be something significant and possibly even interesting, so keep checking back. I’ll try to keep up with this thing.

Well, it's probably too late to get yourself on the ballot. Maybe you can in 17 states, given the time frame. I suppose if they're the 17 key states, then you could do well. If elected, you could even work on healthcare reform. At least, while you're awake. Of course, we all know that when the phone rings at 3 am, you'll already be awake, so answering it will not be a problem.

Nobody's going to believe that you're a hockey Mom. Somebody will be very unhappy if she finds out that you're dating a hockey mom.

Could it be a magical anniversary? That would be fun.

I guess I'll just have to be patient and find out with everyone else.

I know - you're going to dress up and be the nation's official turkey for Thanksgiving. I just hope you're the one that gets pardoned.

OK, how long do you expect loyal readers to wait. Huh? huh? huh? huh?

Well, nothing so extravagant as any of that. The anniversary is this month, and it's not a number with any major associations.

Really, it's nothing that special. It's just something that I may use to give myself a kick in the pants.

It really could be seen as silly.
