Hello dear readers,
To the 2 or 3 of you that still actually check up on this blog (what's wrong with you?) I want to say that I have not actually fallen off the face of the earth. I did go to Israel for a week, but mostly I was not writing in my loving respect for Dukie. However, we must find ways to move on from great tragedies, and so I have decided it is time to start writing again. Erin has not really been blogging that much lately as she too has been off on travels (or maybe also depressed about Dukie?), and Becky wrote about leprechauns yesterday, and I just don't really know how to comment on that. So I just wanted to check in, say hey, I have not left you all on a 3 1/2 year hiatus. Hopefully, Becky and Erin will give me lots of great material, but I may also write about some other stuff, since contrary to what it may seem like, I do think about things other than those 2. So in honor of Becky, here is a list of things I have been thinking about while not writing this blog the past month:
1. Barack Obama - I really want him to be our next president.
2. TV - I miss new shows being on, and I am ready for them to be back. I need my 30 Rock fix.
3. Dukie - Though that probably went without saying.
4. Baseball - It is so great to have it back, it was a hard off season, and good to have some of that bitter taste out of my mouth.
5. My Hoosiers - They broke my heart, they are going to be crap next year, they depress me more than Dukie does.
6. Work.
7. Israel - I guess this is sort of like work, I was there, it was amazing.
8. My birthday - It is in a little over a week, I feel old, but also not too old, that probably doesn't make any sense.
9. Becky - Because she is sitting right next to me, oh and also her facebook daughter Jewish, who used to think I was lame, but now loves me because I give her food and gifts.
10. Silent meditation - I have decided that I want to go for a day or 2 to one of those silent retreats. I know people don't think I can be silent for that long, but I think it would be amazing.
Alright, so I think Becky is starting to freak out that I am not devoting my full attention to her, so I am going to go deal with that. But it is great to be back (sort of).
