Slow Posting The Last Week

I must issue an apology for my two dedicated, daily readers...It has been a slow week for my posting. Real life has interfered, and I haven't had much time.

I have been swamped at work, and in addition, I do some consulting on my own. I have been way behind on a deadline, and still am not caught up. Added to all of that was my anniversary and my daughter's birthday party over the weekend.

Daddy's little girl turned 7 last week, and it was her first birthday party that wasn't just family. I guess if you are parent you can understand the emotions that go along with a child growing up and I don't have to explain. If you aren't a parent, then I couldn't find the words anyway. Suffice it to say that before I know it, she will be dating and leaving home, and I will still be teary eyed over her first birthday party wondering how long I was in a coma.

There hasn't really been anything happening that has drawn my attention as far as posting. A big welcome to Ellie who says she is going to drop in daily, and of course Nicho is always lurking about. TM has vanished, and I hope all is well with him. If you haven't already seen Ellie's blog, drop in and have a look. She is definitely left leaning, but she seems to have a reasonable state of mind, and she enjoys the point-counterpoint debate that we all seem to thrive upon.

I was asked why I link so many left leaning blogs instead of sending conservatives to like-minded pages. As I peruse the lib blogs that I like, I see nothing but left wing links. I guess the answer is that I presume those who are conservative and want nothing but conservative thoughts can find plenty of friendly material on their own and their is no need for me to link it. I personally don't need a bunch of cheerleaders for my thought, and prefer to spend my time reading those with opposing viewpoints that are reasonable and relatively objective. So, when I come across someone who posts thoughtful debate topics, and are at least open to having my counter-points posted, I link them to make it easy for those who are also looking for that type of site.

Have a great day!
