Really. I was just way too busy...

I'd love to be able to say I was way too busy - or that I was on some grand adventure that involved exotic destinations, brushes with danger and long-lost treasure. But I can't. I was simply avoiding it. Blogging is a lot of work. Take a look at my last few posts. They involve a lot of screenshots which in turn involve a lot of cutting-and-pasting and all-around messing around. Well, once you start avoiding, you start forgetting. And when you remember, you start scrambling for excuses. So I have decided to go ahead and admit that I stink. I stopped blogging because I didn't want to and willingly avoided the advice offered by Bill Wagner (stop blogging and people assume you are dead).

Of course, I have a couple people to thank for bringing me out of my funk. In order of "appearance", Dave Halliwill (Get a blog, Dave, and make sure it's geeky), Josh Holmes and Darryl Whitmore. When Darryl told me he got his own blog "thanks to me", I knew it was time to start posting again. Good luck, Darryl.

As for the WSE thing I was doing, I'm back on it. In fact, I'm trying to throw together an abstract right now for a grok talk on Wednesday, October 18 at Great Lakes Area .NET User Group (GANG). Hopefully, a new post within the next 24 hours. If not, definitely in the next 48.
