Excuses, Excuses...

I've been busy...with work, with life, with family. These are lame excuses. Probably the same ones used by the negligent avian mother who laid first one...

then two...

eggs in my potted basil plant before disappearing completely. Actually, family was clearly not one of her excuses...

Sad ending to this story -- both of those eggs were destroyed, presumably by the alarmingly aggressive squirrels that leap from power lines to branches to my balcony with terrifying agility. I'm not sure what that means for my blog in this analogy...

In any event, I have clearly been avoiding this place. I have some guesses as to why, but none of them are particularly interesting, so onward and upward.

In the meantime, so you know work is not just an excuse and I have been writing somewhere, go read this. Really. It will make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I'll be back soon.
