Good Morning America

I want to thank the thousands of readers that have sent their concerns for my well-being and wishes for my return to this blog (it was only a week, but reader desire was bordering on Beatle-mania levels,  and see Thesaurus, we do have readers).  Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated, the folks at Gawker and the Daily Beast engaged in their typical games of misinformation to try and tear down the competition - but they will not succeed.

No, faithful readers, I have not abandoned our blog.  While there was a death in the family, the last week has been sun-up to sun-down training for my audition on "So, You Want to be on Reality TV?"  A select group of contestants were whisked away to Boone, North Carolina and the base of the Blue Ridge mountain s for training to gain entry to the country's most prestigious television show.  I met folks that could squeeze  out ornate pooh from deep inside their bowels, others adept at the lost art of salt shaping, still others that are experts at re-creating the Confederates Most Successful Battles.  As for me, I have two talents under training for my audition, I will have to pick one by the April 16 deadline, so the secret will stay with me for a bit longer.

But as I said, thank you all again for your kind words and wishes, I return to blogging and training.  Cheers.
