2 2 Much

Hi – quick word. I haven’t forgot you.

In fact, I’m quite ticked off I haven’t been in the zone the past couple of days. “Zone” is where energy equals inspiration. Some times I have one, some times I have the other, but ain’t been since Friday eve I had ’em both in the palms of my hands.

I do have stuff to post, mostly review stuff.

Thoughts on my second reading of The Lord of the Rings, and how it differed from the previous two.

A review of the Avengers.

A review of the seminal – or is it germinal? – Western novel The Virginian, which I finished about two weeks ago.

But life in all its calamitous forms is interfering.

Crazy hectic busy at work. The girls have burgeoning schedules of their own (soccer, scouts, play dates and birthday parties) we must attend to. Seasonal stuff the wife demands, like the pickins of apples and pumpkins.

By the time I finally get some solitude, all I want to do is read to escape. And, man, am I enjoying what I’m currently reading (Hearts in Conflict and Reclaiming History). Not enough hours in the day.

Tomorrow at lunch I will write one of the three reviews above, and post in tomorrow evening.

Stop back, won’t you?
