Todd convinced me that I should be writing. Despite the number of justifications I came up with for holding back, I'm finally in agreement with him. I haven't written lately because I'm trying to keep a complete split between work and home. I felt I couldn't really express my opinions here without running into conflict should someone from work read them. I guess I've reached the point where I no longer care about that. I'll refrain from mentioning anyone by name, but that's about it.
Been reading some great stuff lately, like Noam Chomsky, More Chomsky, Thomas Pynchon and listening to Morcheeba. Can't really beat that. Plus, the family is fine. Spent our Independence Day doing the traditional American thing - chillin in the backyard with a beer in one hand and smackin' the kids around with the other. Grilled steaks and watched fireworks. By the way, the tattoo that says "REDNECK" is healing nicely, thank you.
