Neither did I.  This blog isn&#8217;t on its way to becoming a statistic, but I will admit that it hasn&#8217;t received much care and feeding as of late.  There have been a number of reasons for this.  <\/p>\n<p>One, I&#8217;ve been sick with whooping cough.  It&#8217;s damned near become a life-changing experience and that annoys the bejeezus out of me. I&#8217;m much better now, but still&#8230; Two, there&#8217;s been so much to say that it&#8217;s been overwhelming to find a point to jump back in the blog scene.  I&#8217;ve been filled with ideas about RSS and promoting those ideas in the workplace, politics and my changing outlook on what it means to be a responsible citizen, and fisking the many, many entries that have been written by my favorite bloggers.  And three, light.  It&#8217;s dark when I get up in the morning and it&#8217;s dark when I go home from work.  I start to slow down when I get zero UVA\/UVB in my life.  Maybe I should put away the moisturizer with SPF 15? Dunno. It&#8217;s been hard to make those decisions.<\/p>\n<p>In short, I&#8217;m sorry I&#8217;ve been such a bum.  I will start to pick up the slack.  Thanks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know that abandonment rates for blogs are at 45%? Neither did I.
