On becoming a blogger

Morning folks. This is usually the time of day I covet the most -- the time when I get the bulk of my writing done. I will admit that, being something of a political junkie, I can't help but be a little distracted by the primary results, the campaigns, etc. Usually, I'd be wrapping up a few hours worth of work on whatever project I'm engaged with at the moment -- and there's always at least a couple I'm juggling -- and trying to morph into a responsible wage-earner. Some days it's easier than others. But as I say, today, Washington Journal, on C-SPAN is playing in the background. I know, I know, shame on me, shame on me. Can't help it. The stuff fascinates me. I can't decide if it's because this is really the raw, unscripted opinions of American citizens, or if it's just a glorified, electronic version of "sound-off" (hoping, of course, for the former). It's a guilty pleasure, to be sure. Problem is, I'm about thirty pages shy of finishing the next book, Principal Axes of the Heart, and I really need to finish it up before we get geared up pimping Murder Creek. Somebody spank me.
