I Am Alive!

Posted by danleone on June 21st, 2007 filed in blogging

Hello BoMR (Both of My Readers):

I know it has been a long time since my last post of substance (some may say I have never had a post of substance!) and that I may have fallen off the planet. But, rest assured, I am alive and back!

With two children in Little League and one apparently in need of a good old fashioned exorcism, my evenings have been wickedly busy. I know everyone is busy and my life is no different, but the reality is that it has been hard lately to take care of even some of the basics in my life. It is not just blogging that has slid; my writing has too. Also, when I am not heading in two directions at once to be at two different ball fields at once, I am mostly sleeping. I have been trying to read Frank Herbert’s Dune and Al Gore’s Assault on Reason before bed, but typically that means about a page and a half before my eyes close. So, excuses aside, most after school events are over and I feel rejuvenated.

There is so much I want to share with BoMR and hopefully you will be reading posts soon about:

1. How I lost 30 pounds recently and have not felt this good in over 10 years!

2. How my running is going.

3. A slightly more political post about my experience reading Assault on Reason. I know that non-political bloggers usually hate posts about politics, but my bleeding heart sometimes needs a release.

4. More posts about Atheism, Religion, Superstitions and Rational Discourse (or lack thereof).

5. Excerpts from my NIP (Novel in Progress). If anything, you will see how NOT to write a novel!

6. Comments about some of my favorite blogs (ie why-paisley.com who never fails to shock and awe me. I think I am in love with this blog! So, stop reading my pointless drivel and click on the link! Go! Now!)

7. Of course, there will never be a shortage of Stories from My Baby Goats.

I don’t blog because I love to hear myself write (?), I blog because I hope that someone will read it…and enjoy it. Thanks to all for reading!

    1. Did you start smoking?
    3. I heard it’s a good book. I also fall asleep as soon as I start reading, which means it takes me about a year to finish a book.
    5. Yes!
    7. ?

    I read it. I enjoy it. Now I want to read the NiP.

    Hello PitS!

    As always, thanks for the visit. I refer to my children as Baby Goats (kids. get it?). It is funny only in my head, I know.

    I wish I started smoking. It would have made not putting a sleeve of Oreo cookies into my face every night a lot easier!

    Have fun out there!

    Dan

    I wish smoking wasn’t disgusting and bad for you because my weight could use it.

    I look forward to more posts, particularly 3 & 4.

    Congrats on the running and the loss of pounds.

    I read it. I enjoyed it. So now you can’t say BoMR anymore, you’ll have to say AToMR (all three of my readers.) I can SO relate to the running from game to game, activity to activity.
