That’s right! Hello world! How the hell are you doing?

What? Me? How kind of you to ask!

Well, I’m trying a fresh start at this blogging business, hoping to get back to basics, to maintain a regular writing practice, to shake off the ghosts of my previous blog and see where it takes me.

I did some very good work at my previous online home, and I’m proud of the fact that, for a while, we had some decent traffic. However, somewhere along the line I got lost, I became consumed with writing about politics, most other topics fell by the wayside. I tried to just avoid the topic, but my co-blogger was only writing about politics, the few readers we had left, expected us to write about politics, the archives were filled with years and years of posts on the subject, and I just couldn’t shake it.

So, the slate has been cleaned and here I am. We’ll see how it goes.
