so, after thinking about it for a minute, and realizing that I probably won't be making posts here with any real regularity... I thought I would steer people to the blog that I really DO post to - even if it is under the assumed identity of a dog. So slide on over and check out my pets. www.ryderandindy.blogspot.com 

it was a nice notion at least

so much for blogging - not enough hours in the day. At least I am going to use the "blogosphere" (what a dumb word...though apt) to stay in touch with some folks. I still don't have a facebook page - yay me.
