Mike expressed disappointment that I don’t blog about family life so much anymore. He’s no doubt referring to my humorous escapades like the time I painted my house with porn starlets or did battle with the Light Nazi. The truth is that, though I have many whimsical observations about life and stuff swirling around in the noggin, I just ain’t feeling the funny. In fact (consider this an upcoming preview), I’m working on One Nation under David Alan Coe, which may involve drinking and karaoke, and SayUncle vs. Lunch. The last original humor piece I wrote of any substantial length or effort was in December. And not many prior to that for a while.

I guess the realization that the US is headed down a pretty rocky road right now in terms of both international and domestic issues, coupled with the arrival of my daughter have got me a bit worried. Also, things at the office are hectic and, as such, I spend more time at the office than I (or the Mrs.) would like.

Aside from such observations, you, dear reader, may have noticed that my blogging lately is more of the linking variety and not the thinking variety. Just haven’t felt it. I should comment on Social Security (but I don’t care), the SOTU (still don’t care), the war (I care but have little to offer), and [insert your pet issue here]. I’ve also brought on some co-bloggers to aid in the content. They haven’t been pulling their weight, though [finger wagging!].

Despite not having much to say, I feel obligated to keep blogging. And I do. I still like it but can’t devote as much time to it as I have before. I still feel the need to draw what little attention I can to certain things, hence the linking to random gun and property rights issues.

So, there’s your state of the blog address. Any questions?
