It seems like I am always posting a reason for being a slacker on this blog, and here I go again. Several months ago I made a mid-year resolution to tap my creative energies and engage in an outlet after work, and thus the blog was reborn.

However, I unfortunately decided to do this in the midst of one of the the busiest semesters in all my years of teaching. Not only did my school convert from quarters to semesters beginning in August, I also, for some crazy reason, decided to add a part-time job to my full-time job and 8 hour a week commute. In addition I agreed to write a portion of a book chapter, review 45 some-odd abstracts for scholarships and throw in the usual travel and everyday chores on top of that and I was too busy for blogging.

Needless to say the semester kicked my butt and thus I made some changes and dropped everything but my full-time job and blogging for the upcoming semester. In some ways I anticipate being bored, but in others I am so looking forward to have time to eat more and blog more.

Thus that is my explanation for being a slacker this time. I am sure there will be more, but hopefully this semester (the way I measure time now) will be less busy and will get to write many of the posts I have been dreaming about and many more as well.

Anybody and anything is game, so look out!

Happy Eating!
