I refuse to be a statistic!

I am taking a stand: I refuse to be one of the 45% of people who drop their blog within three months of starting it. I admit, I teetered on the edge, but I'm back and in full effect!

Well, medium effect. My bride just finished her paper, and it will take a few days to get back to full production. Now my little girl is turning two and then the wife goes back to the books at the beginning of May... Whew.

I had a little boost yesterday: I swung by the downtown Funky Pickle for a slice (nasty - ALWAYS order fresh, Christopher), and watched a pretty young twenty-something read the Oodle Noodle review that ran in Vue this week. She was spending time with my words, completely oblivious to the fact that the "tiny fingers" in the title were attached to the toddler scarfing pizza beside her.

As a writer, I get a bit disconnected from the result of my writing. Sometimes I'm so buried in the production of the articles that I forget people actually read them. It give me quite a thrill. Thanks, anonymous young lady. Please know that it took everything I had to avoid introducing myself. (I wanted a random-sample poll about how much ink I spend on my daughter.)

Spent the rest of the evening at the park. A good soiree all around.
