Publish or Perish

There is a common expression among professional academics, "Pubish or perish". Thank god blogs aren't like that, 'cause I would be dead. Hang on, though; I just checked my site stats and whadda ya know, blogs ARE like that! I am pretty much dead! Go an' figger!

My extended absence from this space wasn't planned or expected or any of that. I honestly hope that the friends I've made here swing 'round again when I start writing regularly once more. I have a problem with my creative outlets it would seem because I am prone to lengthy outages. This is the first long one with the blog, but similar things have happened with guitar and stuff before.

Rather than go into a lengthy exploration of why I stop and start, which is useful to no one, I think maybe I'll just post some stuff from while I wasn't writing here, like this:




Yes, I traveled a bit while I was gone... I'm hoping to keep it highly mysterious, like scooby-do mysterious. Why would a guy like me be taking pictures of posters in Slovakia? What? Why? Were there bikes? Well, no, there were no bikes, sorry.

I've been looking at some of my older posts and feeling like I used to write good stuff, but not lately. It might happen again, but if not I've always got some helmet cam video worth showing, thank goodness. I won't ask you to stay tuned because my return is still sort of fragile, but if you feel like it, come back again. There might actually be something to see or read.


And Oh Yeah, Merry Whatever Floats Your Spiritual Boat!
