From the look of it, this is going to be one of those years that I’ll
look back upon and say “Whoa, I was pretty busy back then!”. Hence the
shortage of more personal “Hey, look at what I did” entries. It’s not
that I haven’t been up to interesting stuff; it’s just that those
entries take the most time and energy, and those are at a premium. I
find it far, far easier and quicker to write op-ed entries and point
you to interesting things on both the web and in real life. I plan to
get back to writing some “It Happened to Me” stories soon, but in the
meantime, I hope you’re still enjoying the sort of posts I’ve been
making of late.

*smooch*
:) Well, if you're the editor, you should be writing editorials, not op-eds.
Yeah, I'm misusing the term the way it's popularly misused (for those readers who aren't familiar with newspaper terms, "op-ed" is derived from "OPposite the EDitorial page"; it's just that these pieces tend to be personal opinions). Sort of like "gentle learning curve", which I sometimes use when I know that the audience isn't mathematically inclined.
Why perpetuate the misuse? What's next, misusing "it's"? Aim higher, AG!
Oh, don't mind me. I just have a something up my whatnot today.
Love your blog. Keep writing.
