OK- so up until now, noone read my blog, and so I could just wax on philosophically about any old thing. If people start reading it, however, I'll need to get much better about making my point with less words. See, this is how I made it through college with a decent GPA. I have rarely been unable to express in 25 words what could be expressed in 5. (This last sentence being a great example, I could have just said "I'm very wordy.") It was a talent that has served me well, between college papers, end-of-year reports, writing recommendation letters and so forth. If I didn't think it would have led to suffocation in some Potomac basement, I probably would have looked for a career in writing those easy to understand government documents. I would have been good. Anyone who can find great humor in the recitation of the back of a cold medicine box warning label has to be off center. Of course, at the time I was also taking the cold medicine, so that may account for why it seemed funny. Or maybe its just that warning the general population to not operate heavy machinery seemed a little alarmist. Hey, I'm not taking any cold medicine today- I should go find a bobcat, or bulldozer to ride through the neighborhood! Or maybe I'll just get some chocolate and let that impulse pass.

you are too funny. i've decided that this is now becoming our primary form of communication. or, as you would say, i've come to the inevitable conclusion, having read and reread and pondered our blogs, that, due to the overwhelmingness of life, the universe and everything, that communication via blog is the more practical way to maintain relationships that, while stable and strong, still require minor maintenance.
is that better?
