The Professor chimes in- the new semester begins

Well, it's been four months since I've last written to my demanding public. What's worse is that my last postings' displayed a Reubenesque lounger, and quite frankly, the world needs less ugly in it. Let me be the first to say "my bad."

So here's what you've been missing from this side of the thing.

1. I lost 20 lbs. My secret method involved eating less, and exercising more. You can accomplish the same in far less time, but it will require a hacksaw, and the removal of your least favorite leg at or about the knee.

2. My wife and child remain wonderful, beautiful, and the loves of my life. My mutt? Eh, give or take. Right now he is sleeping peacefully, curled on his doggie bed- he is allowed his reprieve.

3. The writing has been in their doldrums. Summer- what with the outside being so shiny, with all it's fresh air and slick water filled pools- has kept me away from the keyboard. Also- there have been some rumblings within my industry that things might get a little shaky. So I've been.... battening down the hatches, as it were. This has, honestly, been taking up a lot of my free time

4. I've been sort of ruminating on what to write. Will it be the Irish fantasy anti hero novel? The fast paced, flashy vampire short story? The bizarre reincarnation story? How about writing...... like, a page for each, once a week?

I suck!
Some Miscellany:

Tonight, I enjoy a early Thursday Night Football Game, involving my Beloved... ahem.... SUPER BOWL CHAMPION......New York Giants. Jacobs and Buress seem to be all the offense the Giants need to win.

Halftime is over. More to come- I believe I will be talking about "growing up geek", or something like that.
