HAPPY NEW YEAR!

OK, I know that I am six days late with it, but seeing that this is the first full work week of 2014, why not?
This is going to be a very interesting year in many ways.
For one, God willing, I will attain gainful employment. I will let you know that progress.
Another is that this will continue to be another year, I am afraid, of societal devolution.
Yeah, I know that Rush Limbaugh refers to it as societal evolution, but when you read what follows, I am sure that most of you will agree that devolution is more like it.
Politics is going to be as it has become. 24/7/365. Sadly. Because this is the last mid-term elections of the reign of the Dear Leader, President Obama, it will be what focuses the nation. One way or another, change is going to occur and I will be there to pontificate.
No, no predictions this year. What is the point? It seems that I am possibly just thinking predictions are going to come to pass about 3.5 out of 10 times. And how many times can I do the "I told you so"?
So here is to a Happy and Prosperous New Year for all.

Why I Have Not Been Blogging Much

For some reason, this particular summer has me in the blog blahs!
I mean, we are in the middle of a historic presidential race and I have not been overly inclined to write about it.
There are all the cultural issues. Again, it just seems sort of like meh.
And there is all the foreign policy issues that should get this blogger pretty excited to blog about.
Meh.
I guess one reason is that the weather here on the Left coast is really great and is a big distraction to  blogging.
But this week I am on vacation from the day job and I think I am getting the feeling back.
The blogging feeling.
So hopefully there will be many more ruminations of your humble blogger this week.
Maybe I am getting over the summer blogger blahs.
