I know what you’re thinking: where the hell is The Great White Shank. Truth be told, I’m still around but struggling with my blogging. It’s just been hard to keep up, and for the following reasons:

1. I’m back on my diet – not a big thing, I was heading back towards 165 and felt a few weeks of going back on the Eades diet would make both my physique and my liver happy. Unfortunately, with the heat still around, that means I’m doing my 1.8 mile walks at night which make it hard for me to sit down afterwards and type.

2. I’ve lost the ability to upload pics from my Blackberry. I know, it’s probably time to upgrade to something else, but we have to wait until our AT&T contract comes up for renewal so we get the good discounts. Ever since I had to re-image my Blackberry back in July the old desktop software doesn’t work, and I can’t figure out how to get the new desktop software to work yet. Too bad, I got some great bunny pics to upload. Perhaps in due time.

3. You can’t bullsh*t a bullsh*tter – even interesting bloggers like Rob and Dave E. will tell you that blogging takes a certain commitment of time, and between work, and items #1 and 2 above it’s just been hard. If I can figure out #2 above I’ll feel better – I like to intersperse my writing with photos; it just makes for a more interesting blog. And besides, the people who enjoy checking in on my blog aren’t stupid – if I’m just going through the motions they’ll be the first to know.

I haven’t given up yet, I’m just going through a phase. Just bear with me for a bit.
