Well, I'm back. Sort of.1
And there was rejoicing throughout the land! Or at least quizzical looks, from the reactions to my picture posts leading up to blog reactivation. I'll explain. Those are stills from a bit Sesame Street used to do where Bob and Luis erected a tunnel and a train came rushing through. It used to SCARE THE SHIT out of me when I was a wee tyke. Something about seeing it far away and then seeing it slowly come to get me was horrifying. And the sound was pretty frightening too. If you're interested, you can see the clip here. Then the connection to bringing back the blog might make a little more sense. Or you might conclude I'm still nuts. Which I would not begrudge you, frankly.
I won't be posting as often as I did before, but I like having this place and I like reading all of you. The reason I've chosen now to come back is that I'll be leaving tomorrow morning on a road trip. I'll be leaving from LA, driving to NJ to see the family, then down to Kennedy Space Center to see a Space Shuttle launch, then back to LA. 7,000 miles, hombres. I'd like to blog the trip for my own enjoyment, and I will therefore be forcing you people to read it.
It should be interesting right off the bat, as I discovered last night that I inadvertently threw out my VIP ticket to the launch. I did my spring cleaning last week, and went through a bunch of paperwork, putting it into "throw out" and "keep" piles. My Shuttle ticket apparently found its way to the "throw out" pile. I'm normally super organized. I can't believe I was that careless. During my drive I'll be attempting to pry one loose from eBay, Facebook, or anywhere else. I'm sure I'll either not find one or pay a super duper premium and then return home and find the original ticket in about six months. I can't wait to write that blog post.
1. I do have a gift for grand entrances, don't I?

Yes, yes you do. Seriously, how irritating is that ticket business? I once went out on my lunch hour to buy baseball tickets and between buying them and getting back to work, I lost them. I have NO IDEA how. But I was pissed for months.
That road trip sounds FANTASTIC and I am not jealous, not even a little tiny bit. Sniff. Waaaah!
So, I guess you're not coming to visit me?
ROAD TRIP! Awesome. Be sure to stock up on beef jerky, the perfect road trip food.
Yay that sounds awesome. I've done it before, LA-MA-LA, and it was one of the best times of my life.
Can't wait for pictures! And the words too, of course. I'll totally read all the words.
Well hello to three of my favorite commenters! I'm sure it will be super fun. I've driven cross country twice before, but only one way each time. This will be, er, longer.
I've already had some of the best pizza of my life and imbibed something illegal in 20 states, so I'm off to a rollicking good start!
Idly passing by and noticed that you had put something up. It's been a long time. I hope there's more to come.
What???? How the hell did I miss this post?!
