I certainly have taken a long hiatus from this here blog thingy. What’s my excuse? A hint: it’s one of the developments below, each of which I’ll treat at length during my first week back-to-blog. In no particular order:

  • I’ve lost twenty-five pounds. As it happens, lots of things taste better than being thin feels. More on Monday.
  • I took on a new role at work. What happens when an erstwhile “individual contributor” becomes a “people manager”? Not much that’s bloggable, if you’re at all ethical, but I’ll attempt some general musings on Tuesday.
  • I got both boys skiing. It sounds like an afternoon’s amusement but was actually a months-long campaign against their apathy, bizarre weather, and my better instincts. Details on Wednesday.
  • I got a Kindle. On Thursday: the good, the bad, and why I won’t be trading it in for an iPad.
  • I got cancer. That will have to wait until Friday, but no worries; I’ll still be around.
