Blogging Hiatus

To paraphrase, "where have all the bloggers gone, long time ago ... ." My favorite weather person's blog has been idle for a number of days, and Pirtalations has been silent since early July. Only the Hecktionary has new entries for August. I wish there was a great explanation (maybe global weather modification), but I am thinking either mental malaise or laziness.

Normally, August heat sets in and (at least for me) one can barely make lemonade, let alone think straight. This year, however, the weather has not cooperated and instead has made like early fall (certainly my favorite time of the annual cycle). So the weather cannot be blamed.

Perhaps it is the focus on maintaining the insane schedule that is imparted by the unemployment office. Seeking and applying to at least five positions each week can become daunting - especially when there aren't leads in areas of the country that might be "passable" for living.

On the other hand, it could be the natural tendency to take a break from all the political "noise" and not respond to the "talking heads" and their slanted positions on activities that are commonly referred to as "news."

Ah, that's it. Relax with a friend, enjoy a beverage, and watch a little "Nemo." All is well. Brain is rested.

While I was "napping," did the recession end? Has health care been solved? If not, I am assuming I haven't missed anything (at least nothing of importance). Good. Now to move forward.
