Hi, Miss Me?

Hey blog, what's shaking? It's been a long time since since we've last spoke. And, in the immortal words of Papa Smurf, "I've been smurfin' busy lately," what with work, school back in session,  ragin' tween and pre-tween hormones that only a father could love. "It's smurfin' crazy over here."

A few observations lo' these many weeks past...

• Traffic has turned from a thin, manageable tomato bisque into a thick, hearty minestrone. It's like once school started the traffic gods slapped their hands together, activating the clapper and --boom-- traffic out the smurf. If it wasn't for my spanish podcasts, iria loco!
• The Olympics....man alive was that cool! From the opening ceremonies, to Michael Phelps' historic performance, to the after-hours, sweaty, heart-pounding, erotic ballet that was women's power lifting. Oh, and the women's beach volley ball wasn't bad either.  
• Election '08. While I'm leaning very heavily in one direction, I'm waiting for next week's GOP convention to fully make my decision. I'm intrigued by McCain's veep decision...but being a two-year governor of a state with a population roughly the size of Arlington, TX...yikes! I gotta hand it to McCain though, it's going to be interesting.
• And last but not least,  Operation "Run, FatBoy, Run" is going pretty well. For only the second time in five years I'm below the 200-pound mark...a dozen more pounds to go...(epilogue: I miss food, glorious food)  

I'll update more often...the next few months will be a ride...
