Out of the Silence

Hello, my crazy friends and relatives,

You probably thought that I'd given up blogging all together. No, but I've been busy and haven't had anything profound to say. However, my sense of guilt has once again driven me back to the keyboard so here I am. I must confess to you that I still don't have much to say but why should I let that hold me back? Right? It sure never stops the politicians, so why should it stop me?

I'm like a pressure cooker. Stuff happens and I sit around thinking about it. The pressure builds and the mental juices start flowing and eventually I feel ready to comment. Sometimes what escapes turns out just to be gas or hot air. Other times it's something witty or helpful. The latter is what I'm always hoping for, of course.

So in the meantime, while the pressure is building and I'm thinking of something of witty to say, I'm including an old video clip of Flip Wilson, one of my favorite funny men. I hope you like it.





I'll write again soon. I have some things in draft form that I'll share with you as soon as I get them polished just a little bit more. Thanks for checking in here once in a while and I especially thank those of you who occasionally comment on something I've put up. That encourages me to do better and to keep it up.


Mike
