I return from hiatus to announce my hiatus...

Feels like time for ab update, so here goes.  I haven't posted for awhile now for a variety of reasons, chief among them that, no longer living at home in post-graduate limbo, I have better things to do.  I just recently started at Truett Seminary in Waco which also seems unable to really decide if its conservative or liberal and so is a good fit for me.  Also, I don't have a working computer or internet at the moment (which perhaps makes the origin of this a post a mystery to many), which has contributed to this blog's sorry neglect recently as it stands like some lonely orphan in a forgotten corner of the internet.  On the bright side, I've been able to get quite a lot of reading done, including starting Dickens' wonderful David Copperfield (which is perhaps what occasioned my orphan metaphor in the preceding sentence).  I feel that I've have perhaps been to effusive in my praise  of some books in previous posts and so have no room to communicate how wonderful this novel really is.  It is quite an undertaking (my copy comes in at some 700 pages), but is so light and enjoyable (if not necessarily in content, in style) that one should not feel intimidated, as I do before, say War and Peace- I know I should probably read it, but how to begin?

Anyway all that to say that this blog is not dead and I do plan to return to it at some point.   I probably will not blog with the frequency I once did upon return (it got to the point where even I didn't read everything I wrote), but like General MacArthur said upon leaving the Philippines, "I will return"- in a not altogether unrelated aside, on my return this time I found the comments section inexplicably overrun by Asian characters of some sort.
