Sporadic sentiment

I know, I've been totally skating on my blog lately. Here are my lame excuses: • It's August and there's nothing happening gardenwise but waiting for cooler weather and more money. • It's the Republican National Convention and I am trying very hard to pay attention with an open mind, though these people really really make me mad. • It was the Olympics and, y'know, I care deeply about the steeplechase. • I have this one problem-child client that is making my teeth itch. • We're leaving for San Fran on Saturday and I have lots of stuff to do. See, now don't you feel bad for being irked at me for not writing? Well, I'll be gone probably until 9/14. Suffa! Okay, maybe I'll try to post from Cali if we're not too busy hanging out with LL Cool J and Cheech Marin or something.
