So I'm sitting here on my self-imposed hiatus from blogging and I get an email from Jaine Andrews, KELOLAND's executive producer and my main "minder" here on KELOLAND's blogatorium.
She sends a gentle reminder that I agreed a couple years ago to blog at least once a week here on KELOLAND. The
quid pro quo is KELOLAND gives me this real estate, I have to blog once in a while. Fair enough.
Oops!
Just when I thought I was out Jaine Andrews pulls me back in!
Ok, I've been remiss. To be frank with you (but only if I can be Frank first or Frank Furst), I've enjoyed not blogging. I've enjoyed not trying to come up with something interesting, newsworthy, or at least mildly entertaining every day. I've enjoyed not being called a godless, socialist, humanist secular by
Sibby simply because I support President Obama's health care reforms. I've enjoyed not worrying about whether
South Dakota's Most Enlightened Non-Woman get's his knickers in a knot because I happened to post a photo of beautiful and talented woman on my blog. I've enjoyed not being all stressed out about writing stuff for free.
Plus, you can always go read
my young Republican friend PP at the War College to see what the lazy SD MSM has missed this week on the political front. Frankly, I'm still surprised newspapers exist. I can read Pat and a myriad of online sources and be better informed than reading the local rag--and it's free and I don't have to throw the paper out or recycle it. Now that's convenience.
However, I've come almost to embrace my iracible colleague
Dr. "Nuke" Newquist's meme that we bloggers are bunch of petulant little kids who can't play nice in the sandbox. There is lots of sand being thrown around here. And I've enjoyed not having to pour it out of my shoes and dig it out of my butt crack.
So yes, I've enjoyed my time off from the SoDakBlogOSphere. Can't say that I've missed most of you. Ok, Grudnick, I've missed you. And Nic, you too. And Matt over at KJAM, you too.
But like Ahnuld in the
Terminator movies, "I'll be back"--once a week or so. Same Bat time, same Bat station.
