I think it’s a rule of blogging that you’re never supposed to write one of those posts where you apologize for not posting in a long time. I apologize anyway. Partly because I sincerely regret dropping off for over two months and partly because the idea that there are rules involved in something like blogging makes me chuckle. Not an amused or even bemused chuckle but the wheezy, tired chuckle of an old clown who has just died and discovered that the afterlife is a never-ending birthday party.

Blogging just hasn’t seemed all that interesting to me lately. I do have a couple of ideas about how to get back in the swing again, though. In the meantime, I want to wish anyone who’s paying attention a Happy New Year.

I hope 2009 is better.
