I last posted one year and one day ago.  During the past year, I changed jobs, moved to Washington D.C., ate a lot of chicken and waffles, did a lot of gardening, became wildly overcommitted in the professional arena, and tried to forget how to blog or that I even liked to in the first place.  I didn’t even read blogs, but I sure got into Facebook.  I watched too much TV and let my mind rot.  I left a job that I really loved, and I think I’ve had a bad case of whiplash, heartburn, and wanderlust ever since.

I hope to make this blog helpful to others while also satisfying my recently developed and seemingly unending need to “broadcast,” a la Twitter or Facebook, things I think are cool.  Or are not cool.  Heaven help me, I will leave you all with the intact illusion that federal employment is just as glamorous, uninhibiting, and nimble as we all know it to be.

Perhaps as best stated by the Backstreet Boys, “Rock your body right |Backstreet’s back alright!”
