Why my blogging has died down...

Today is October 16th. Over 2 months ago I wrote a post, which you can see right below this one, on "Picking it back up." Boy was I wrong... 2 weeks later, I decided that I would write about why I think that I had slowed my writing of the blog down. I never actually wrote more than 2 sentences on that post. Here they are below:

"I am not making excuses for my lack of blog posts over the last several months, but I think that Twitter has killed my blogging. Why take the time to write a whole big long post about stuff when I can easily type a few phrases on my phone and send them out."

So anyway, I wanted to post an update to say that I am not sure where I am headed with this blog. I spend a lot more time updating Twitter or Facebook and reading lots of other blogs than I do worrying about my own blog. I am not so sure that I had many people actually "following" the blog, so it probably doesn't matter all that much.

I will make an attempt to post things here as well when I get some time. I actually started this blog to post race reports, and since I am not racing much this year. I also used it to post about trips that I had been on, but I haven't really organized many pictures from all the trips this summer. So, we'll consider it a work in progress.

Bye for now.

Picking it back up!!!

For whatever reason, this blog has been very empty for a while. Nevertheless, I am going to work on being more active! It is the summer, and I am definitely active physically, but I need to pick it back up on the writing front! So, I am sure that all of you (few) readers that I have were wondering what happened in the aftermath of the Stanley Cup with my Celebration Mustache. Those of you who haven't seen me since then, it is gone and I am back to my normal clean shaven face. I know you are very disappointed.

On to much more interesting things! Tonight marks the first football game of the new season. The Steelers aren't officially beginning their defense of the Superbowl, since it is the PRE-season, but it is a rematch of the game. I know that these games are mostly meaningless in terms of the actual competition, but I am excited to see a little bit of hitting!!! And to get a small glimpse of some of the off-season acquisitions, veteran and rookie.

Let's Go Steelers! Start the title defense early!
