I am such a cliche

You know, I read the other day someone's snarky comment on Slashdot listing the basic criteria for a "blog". One of the criteria was something to the effect of "last 6 entries are 2-3 sentences consisting of 'been busy with work, can't post'" and I have to confess, it hit close to home. In fact, that's been EXACTLY my situation. I've recently accepted a demanding (and thus far rewarding) promotion at work which has consumed much of my time. Also, Lily is now 18 months old, and holy crap, 18 months old are busy little creatures. They're wonderful, but they are rarely without something to do. She's a scream. If any of you are on the fence about having kids, I tell you, get off the fence and do it already. Lil is 100% joy, and I love being her dad. She is the smartest, strangest, silliest, sweetest, and 1500 other words that start with 's' little person that I've ever known.

Anyway, back to my admission of being a cliche. I know you're sick and tired of reading this ridiculous blog and it's humongous gaps in posting, but the way I figure, you're still reading, so you apparently aren't too terribly put off by the delays are you? Would you prefer I just post crap every night while brushing my teeth and give you no substance at all? Of course not, that's what those other blogs are for. This one? Well, I'd like to think that it's a little 'out of the ordinary' and I'll leave you, the faithful reader, to determine as to whether it's good or not.

Ok, well, it's about 9:30 at night, and I haven't had any dinner yet (you just needed to know that didn't you?). Thanks for hanging in there, and I'll really keep my fingers crossed that at some point in the relatively near future, I'll be able to continue posting with actual content. Until then, well, you'll have to keep waiting.
