Uhhhh... when last we met... Yeah, yeah, I've taken a little hiatus. And so I begin anew to subject the unsuspecting world to my $.02. It's only the twelfth day in 2011 and we've already been through a whirlwind of emotions.

The uplifting story of the homeless, golden-voiced Ted Williams is no longer the lead story after being replaced by the horrible tragedy of the Tucson shootings. One can only hope that positive actions and thoughts can overcome the negativity that permeates. Take a deep breath everyone. In with the good, out with the bad.
