Just Another Poorly Maintained Blog

It's probably not the first time you've seen a blog lie fallow like an untended field on an abandoned farm. It is, perhaps, even cliche, almost a default position to start a blog, dedicate a few days of solid work to it, and then realize just how much effort it might take to maintain over time with very little to show for it. A blog might even be described as Sisyphean, if you wish to seem overly pretentious and like just a little bit of a know-it-all, which I kind of do.

That said, one of my New Years Resolutions is to rededicate myself to this tiny effort, and frankly I'm looking forward to it. It is also true to say that breaking New Years Resolutions is perhaps as predictably cliche as letting a briefly tended blog fall into disrepair, so take that for what it's worth.

Speaking of New Years, I would like to credit my wife for coining the phrase "crap rap" for me during Dick Clark's Rocking New Years Eve, which is a term I plan to use as frequently as possible this year.
