TexasBestGrok: I'm Alive

I'm Alive

Sorry for the sparse posting schedule of late. Here's what I've been doing in lieu of blogging:

Dug up several well-established (but ugly) bushes and replaced them with smaller, more attractive shrubs. Also put in some pansies and rosemary (the Texas growing season is nice and long).
Enjoyed a traditional Thanksgiving feast at my parents' house, except for the part where the Dallas Cowboys lost in OT.
Put up the Christmas lights outdoors while listening to my UT Longhorns [barely] beating the Aggies.
Purchased the new R30 DVD set. Viewed it multiple times.
Entertained some close family friends in town from Iowa.
Read a fair amount of Neal Stephenson's The Confusion.
Got some sleep.

I'm hoping to get some more stuff up soon. I will be updating the Carnival of Music page to reflect our latest volunteer to host the next edition.

Check back soon, and thanks for your patience through this latest round of writers' block/burnout.

TU Traitor? My loyalties have never strayed...

I manage to stay friendly with most of my Aggie acquaintances.

The Sooners, on the other hand...

John!

You have to go at least 20+ days before an "I'm alive" post. At least, that's how I read the Code.

On a brighter note, I managed to turf two problem clients in two weeks. If I can figure out how to blog about it without having the Ethics Committee breathing down my neck, it might make a 1/2 decent story.

Lysander, if you can manage the ethics issues, I would be interested in hearing/reading the details. I don't think I've ever gone 20 days, although a planned vacation may be in the works sometime in the near future. As soon as I can figure out "trickle" posting, I may take a couple of weeks off to read, watch movies, and basically develop some new material.
