After months of putting it off, it's time to relaunch my blog. Once the back-to-school routine started with the kids, I pretty much lost interest in updating things here. It wasn't a case of not having anything to write about - in fact I still have notes sitting around about summer vacations and stuff that just never made it off paper and onto the computer.
Which means there will probably be some strange things coming to this blog as I get ramped back up again. Maybe reading about July in February will help all of us in Michigan start feeling warm and ready for another summer season.
It seems that blogging isn't as 'dangerous' as it used to be. Some of the things that were blogged by sports journalists from the major newspapers around here during the University of Michigan coaching search late last fall were incredible in their inaccuracies and overall nastiness. And it doesn't really seem to have had any effect on the day jobs of the real journalists that were writing them. I'm conflicted whenever I try to be nasty about things, preferring to use the golden rule instead. But it seems that in today's society, if you're not controversial enough, there just isn't any interest in what you have to say. The only thing that gets noticed is the bad stuff.
I'm not sure where that leaves me as I try again to find my voice for a blog. Of course, there will still be plenty of 'boring' entries too. Like this one.
