I'm B-A-A-A-C-K

I have finally returned to haunt the blogger, like Damian from the Omen. All I can say is that it's been a crazy month, so bad that I barely had time to check my email, let alone do decent blogging. But it's good to see that my fellow bloggers out there are still going strong. One lesson I have learned since returning from a relatively short vacation is that emails don't just go away if you ignore them, however much you would like that to be the case. I have, over time, convinced myself that if I don't read a message asking me to do or commit to something, then I am somehow absolved of the responsibility altogether. It's the passive-aggressive beast in me trying to hold back the flood of obligations. The beast has much to thank for my recent discovery of the 'out-of-office' email bounce-back option on my server, what a revelation! A perfect way to exculpate my guilt from leaving my email unread, at least temporarily. All I have to do now is send an annoying email out to all our blog friends, begging them to sign-on again. They wouldn't dare ignore my message, would they?
