Here I am.....

Every writer has, at one time or another, suffered from a common malady..... Writer's Block. In the interest of brevity, I'm going to assume that you, dear reader, know all about the condition. If not, Google it.

Writer's block, however, is not the reason for the recent dearth of posts from yours truly. Quite the contrary, lately I've been afflicted with a condition that is quite the opposite of writer's block, but no less debilitating. Honestly, I may be coining a phrase here, but my difficulty lies in the condition I now know as "Writer's Flood."

Writer's Flood n The state or condition of paralysis, brought on by having so much to write about, the writer is rendered unable to focus sufficiently on any one topic, to present coherent thoughts related to said topics either manually or electronically.

In other words:
  • Trip to Portugal
  • Extended Family issues.
  • The meltdown of our financial markets.
  • The election
  • The death of capitalism
  • Issues at ATA
  • The state budget, and its effect on my work place environment.
All of these have bombarded me with material over the last few weeks, to the extent that I've not been able to focus on any one topic.

But oh my, look at the time, guess I won't be able to write about any of these topics right now..... I have to go deal with the above topics for another day.
