… And the band plays on

Well, it looks like I’ve got more reason to write than ever before. And I thought that going back to school was going to be a big deal and worth writing about. If only I’d known…
So, for the one of you still reading this that doesn’t already know — and I suspect that my readership has fallen to zero at this point — I’m going to be having a baby. Char and I will become parents on or around May 23 next year (if Ali has her way, it’ll be May 22, but I don’t know that we’ll be that obedient).
I’m … ambivalent about this. Anyone that knows me even a little knows well my feeling on the subject of my having offspring. I’ve never made a secret of it. But I can’t really cling to those feelings at this point, otherwise I’ll do far worse as a parent than my child-to-be deserves (speaking of which, since the Internet is forever, there’s a good chance they’re reading this. Hi, offspring!)
So, I’m reanimating this blog. I expect it’ll have a different tone than before, and don’t be shocked if there are posts that are either private or don’t allow feedback — this is likely to become a bit more of a public diary than a sounding board, but you’re all welcome to participate. Who knows, perhaps it’ll make things easier to adjust to.

Well, it’s still on my livejournal feed. So I, at least, still see it. Ha!
That, and as said prior, good luck.

Well lad-di-da. I wasn’t expecting this. Paint me tickled! (just go with it. I think by now we all know I like it random and nonsequiturial and that’s just how it’s gonna be)
I love that you are starting this up and in the form of a journal and outlet.

Frequent reader who infrequently comments. Feed me weird things, and who knows what’ll come out of me once I’ve digested it.
That was unintentionally scatological, I swear.
Long story short: post. Whether I reply or no, I have read your writings.

I’m still here way in the distance, I may have not looked for a bit but will now.
