Tales of a Delinquent Blogger

I owe you, dear readers, an apology.

I have been delinquent in my blogging duties. I have allowed things like work and school to get in the way of broadcasting my unsolicited opinions and self-indulgent anecdotes. I know your lives have been unfulfilled without my musings. For this neglect, I am humbly sorry. My only defense is a desire to keep my aforementioned job and eventually complete my doctoral coursework. Yes, I can be unreasonable at times.

I have been inspired to blog on numerous occasions. Here's are some topics that have made my shortlist:

• TU's Class of 2011 - This was the first class of students I'd seen from their first day of college to graduation. This group will always hold a special place in my heart, especially members of the O-Team, theProject, and my student staff at the Information Desk.
• The death of the serial comma - All I can say is that I am disappointed, miffed, and perplexed. I guess I should add rebelling to that list.
• The Voice - I am generally not a fan of reality television, but this was a great show. The Voice demonstrated that friendly competition does not diminish quality, and I loved that the coaches were invested in people, not just product. And no offense to the talented Javier Colon, but Dia Frampton, you could sing the phone book, and I'd listen.

I am sure there are other blog-worthy moments that I might get to one day...my birthday philosophy most certainly, but that will have to wait. It is now time for the Holland family shrimp boil, and I must do my duty and eat to excess.

Happy reading!
