Yes, I’ve returned.
Some of you may know that I messed around with blogging as early as January of 2003, when I launched IsThatLegal. It was fun sharing some points of view and a bit of the truth as I saw it, even though sometimes my posts were accused of not being particularly strong in reason. I was never right there at the top of the blawging world, but I was satisfied.
By 2008, I found that running a solo blog was more than I could handle. Stories that I wanted to blog about were becoming increasingly hard to find, and the blogosphere had become too much of a heartbreaking world for me. So I pretty much abandoned the project over at IsThatLegal.
Letting go turned out to be a lot easier than I thought it would be. I haven’t exactly been crying in my sleep over the loss.
But I’ve continued to read a few blawgs, especially this one, and, well, I have again found myself tempted. Dan and the rest of the loungers were gracious enough to invite me to hang out. This is some fantastic place they’re running, so I decided to give it a go.
We’ll see whether I’ve lost the knack.
What a fantastic post. It sounds like you have, in the illustrious words of Brian Ferry (of Roxy Music fame), "The Right Stuff."

Oh, and I should add that seeing you post here nearly made me spit out my black coffee in bed.
