Rumors of my un-timely passing...
I won't quote Mark Twain (or Samuel Clemens, for that matter). Just suffice it to say, I've spent the last year "dead" for tax purposes.
A whole year - and more - has gone by since my last blog post... ah, blame it on the economy. Or sunspots. Or the economy. When Jott went subscription-only (dropping the limited "free accounts"), I lost my most powerful link to maintaining my blog. No longer could I call in from the road with quips, little gems and observations, viral ideas, brilliant diamonds of genious. Nope. No more. I still have them -- in fact, when it comes to brilliant diamonds of genious, I am steenking reech! But I can't mine diamonds on the road... too much traffic, too high gas prices.
And, when I'm finally tethered, I can't mine or refine or add sparkling facets, there's just not enough time. Scribbled notes on index cards takes attention away from necessary things like avoiding cars and semis, earning a living, sleep... Gems are lost. Riches, un-realized, are just... nothing.
How about THAT for another "back in the saddle" attempt at resurrecting the zombie blog? Heh.
Let me see if I can remedy the sitch for a day...

When things don't wokr...
I am pretty unhappy that the Jott thing didn't work. I have been "blogging" via Jott for what... a year now? It worked very well in the beginning, but at some point (er, March this year?) the entries weren't transcribed and entered. So, I have two dozen or so blog entries that just never made it to tbe blog. I can go back over the old entries and transfer them manually, as I hate to lose the entries. Then again, I resorted to the Jott technique because I have never had time to update manually. What a catch-22. Take the time I never seem to have to to do manual entries or waste the time I already took when I did them in the first place.
I guess I'll just have to find the time.
OK, anything from March 27th until "here and now", has been reposted.
