This blog is nearly flatlined.  I have all the same excuses that everyone else does - work, life, additional commitments, work - which is to say that I do not have any excuse at all. I intend to write each night when I am on my way home, but circumstances consistently conspire against me.  I hate it, but I seem powerless - or at least sufficiently unmotivated - to combat it.

I do not have any plans to quit writing, however.  It does not cost me anything but time and I am bound to stumble onto the free version of it at some point.  So, for the three of you that bother to check this site once every four weeks, just know that there may be new content showing up at some point.

Now, no sooner do I make that statement, than I need to mention that I will be out of the country for a while starting Saturday.  Yes, I will miss the Game.  That is a painful admission.

I am flying to Shanghai early Saturday morning.  By the time the Buckeyes score the first of their 7 touchdowns, I will be gaining on the Arctic Circle at 40,000 feet (the flight path from Chicago is close to the north pole).

Rose Bowl Rap Dept.: Ohio State’s Rose Bowl opponent will remain unclear for another couple of weeks but if it were to be Oregon, they appear to have an early lead in the rap department.
