Having a Nice Blogosphere Vacation

Sometimes, I just have to drop it all and take a vacation from Barnstable's blogosphere. This place takes so much more out of a person than it should. Blogs should be about sharing ideas and opinions, not what we make it here in Barnstable.

For the past few weeks, I've been enjoying a very nice vacation from all of the blogs... Not having to read about the Joakim recall, Doc Mosby and the Barnstable Airport, more accusations against elected officials being blown way out of proportion, absolutely absurd fearmongering about Hyannis water, etc... It's been really nice...

Anyway, I'll try to be more frequent in my postings here again...

We now have a date set for the Joakim recall election. October 30 at the Marstons Mills East Horace Mann Charter School. Should be interesting...

What are your opinions about the recall election? The primaries that just took place? The general election that's coming up? Are you an Obama fan or a McCain person? What do you think?

Layoff

I want to apologize for my recent absence from the blog scene. It was rude of me to leave without at least stopping by to let you know that I was too busy to write here.

The combination of the other events, commitments and activities that I am involved in has priority over this blog. While I enjoy blogging, it is not the most important thing in my life. Those obligations and the hectic holiday season combined to give me little time to sleep, let alone blog.

However, the one thing that this little layoff has taught me is a little respect for those who DO blog almost every day. I never really gave blogging much thought, but really the time and commitment necessary to achieve that level of consistency is extraordinary. Kudos to the local daily bloggers for your commitment.

I intend to write regularly (2-3 times a week or more) from now on, now that the holidays are just about behind us.

I look forward to a brand new year in Barnstable.
