Surrender

I have been lurking on several blogs for the last month. The content of most of them makes my Midwestern life seem boring. Maybe that is why I am writing so much less than I thought I would. I have been very busy at work this past month. I expected to be, but I still thought I would have energy to write. I was supposed to go on a date with my wife tonight, but we got snowed out. Too much snow to be driving around just to have dinner without the kids. Perhaps the real reason I have been writing less goes back to my second posting. I got a TiVo last weekend and I have been glued to the television ever since. My brother-in-law likes to claim that TiVo is simultaneously the best invention in the world and the scourge of Satan. If television is an opiate then TiVo is taking it by injection. I think I may not have enough internal angst to write a blog. I don't want to spend my time critiquing the government. There is of course plenty to criticize and anyone is free to do so, but I don't know of a better one in the real world. I am leaning towards starting over completely on this blog and finding a focus.
