Yeah, so I sort of just stopped writing.

There wasn't any one thing, but a combination: it's boring, it's one-way, and I have other things I want to do.

I “tweet” using twitter. These are short, under 140 character, bursts of either stupidity or insight, or infrequently very inside-baseball quips which I only expect a few people to get.

I did write here, occasionally:

• American Airlines Lost My Luggage And All I Got Was a Lousy Entry Title
• my endorsement endorsement/vote for Barack Obama

Plus a couple of I'm sorry I haven't posted lately posts which I don't think warrant linking here.

I'm just kind of tired…of sharing. This is very one way and while I don't exactly thrive on interpersonal contact, some feedback helps. Email, comments, tweets, whatever.

So, my only promise for 2009 is that I'll continue posting pictures of the dogs on a periodic basis. If I have something of true import to the world at large I might post it here, but may well just tweet it.

I'm not even going to review 2008 much: I traveled a bit, my luggage got lost, sort-of vacationed in Provincetown, one of my grandmothers died in Chicago, I spent Thanksgiving in London.

For 2009 I plan to: travel less often, take more pictures of dogs, and lose weight.

If you'd like to know more about what's going on, feel free to write or tweet or call.
