So. I'm back. (My knee-jerk instinct was to use the name of an Elton John song for the title, but I refrained.)

I had it in my head that I was going to get back to blogging on February 1st, but what can I say? I missed it. I got this itch to write that I couldn't ignore.

I needed a break. I had a lot of things tumbling around in my head that I needed to work through before I wrote anything else stupid or offensive or inappropriate. I have a bad habit of blogging without thinking, and I'm going to try to work on that.

I've been sort of assessing what I've been writing about and why ... and I've been unable to form any sort of reasonable conclusions. So I'm just going to say this: I hope that the overall message my readers get is a positive one. That adoption is an amazing and wonderful thing. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

And I promise I'll have something worthwhile and interesting to say soon.
