Forgive me, readers, for I have sinned. It has been two years since my last blog. I knew I was in trouble when I completely blanked at the log-in screen, having no memory of either user name nor password. Then, once I finally dredged up the required information, I blinked at the empty screen, wondering what I had to say that was worthy  of a blog post.

I had the best of intentions when starting this blog, but from day one it was a challenge to balance a full-time job, writing career, and toddler. The toddler is now a full-fledged boy, the full-time job is as demanding as ever, and the writing career has it’s ups and downs but isn’t fascinating enough to blog about on a regular basis. I do envy authors who prolifically post their writerly insights, funny faux pas, recipes, and travel tales.

I would promise to say some Hail Mary’s and try to do better, but I know neither is likely to happen. It’s not that I don’t love you, Readers. It’s just that you and I both have better things to do than read my recipes or travelogues. I do promise to share a funny faux pas now and then.

(Oh, and I disabled comments because I definitely have better things to do than deleting the Viagra spam that comprised 99% of the submissions. It’s nothing personal, Viagra. If I ever want an erection to last more than four hours, you’ll be the first one I call.)

Till then,
