Pardon the interruption...

First of all I want to give y'all a big thanks; I passed 10,000 hits recently. It's kind of a milestone for my humble little blog, especially when I first started this deal on a whim. I just wanted a place to get some stuff off my chest and this is definitely cheaper than a shrink, for sure(never been to one and I'm scared what would happen if they figured out what was bumpin' around in this noggin'). I've made some good friends, a couple people really mad, but most of all I've found a group of fellow bloggers that hold "these truths to be self-evident". What more could a good ol' boy ask for? So...to you-thanks.

That being said-I have to inform my readers, that for the next few weeks, I will be out of pocket for the most part. This is a busy time of year for me; I teach some classes and they consume all of my free time. I usually feel like a chicken running around with my head cut off. I will still be lurking, maybe just not posting as much. I am sorry, but it can't be helped. Nothing like thanking y'all for reading and then bailing, huh? This too shall pass my friends. So-be cool and I'll catch y'all on the flip side. Y'all have a good 'un.
