A New Day

I guess the recent demise of my blogdom can largely be accounted for by three factors: 1) I've had nothing to write, 2) I have been forced to write immense amounts in other genres (like the every-pleasant genre of "research paper"), and 3) I have been too busy with other, less-web-based interactions, like actually hanging out with people. Nevertheless, some of my dear friends in OK have convinced me not to give up on this blogging thing, so here I am back and better than ever. As Mark Twain would say, "Reports of my [blog's] death have been greatly exaggerated."

I think I've figured out one way for me to continue this blog thing without devoting an egregious amount of time. Inspiration comes in unexpected places. Every morning I awake with a song in my head, usually a different song, from what I can tell. I have no idea how the song gets there: It frequently is a song I haven't heard in months or even years. Nonetheless, there it is lodged firmly, sometimes intractably, in my mind. Let the chronicle begin:

Thursday (9/20)--Cold Day in July, by the Dixie Chicks (yeah, I have no idea)
Friday (9/21)--Elevation, by U2 (great way to start a day)

I'll keep you posted!
