Donald Trump Billboard

So, yeah, life trumps blogging. Over the Christmas/New Years holiday I made a purposeful decision to stay offline a bit more than usual, a decision that was pretty helpful, I think, in having a good holiday.

After the new year, I was in a class that met three hours every weekday for two weeks, so that trumped blogging and work to a large degree.

Then, in the middle of that class, I caught strep throat, which trumped the class, work, and damn near everything else.

So then I got healthy and my wife got sick, so the family stuff trumped the other stuff, except for class, and when the class stopped trumping everything, I had to catch up on work and that trumped the blogging.

Then I had a strep relapse, which trumped not only work and blogging, but my son’s sixth birthday party (only for me; everyone else had a great time, I hear).

Now I have recovered from that. Work seems under control. Family is mostly healthy (did I mention the other son’s ear infections (plural)?).

So here I am blogging. Do you see me blogging?
