MONDAY MORNING WRAPUP

This has been among the most intense weekends I’ve ever endured, on the heels of a few pretty damn intense weeks.  I’ve had a cold for eight days, I drove 900 miles in 28 hours, and generally overextended myself.  I’m drowning in ideas I’d just like to sit down and write about - some that are amusing, and some that aren’t.  Life, really, is good.  At least, I’m pretty sure that it is.  But it certainly is interesting, and that merits a bit of writing all on its own. 

But here’s the thing: There are a lot of things that require my attention this week.  Some of them are waiting for me at my office and some are cowering in the dark corners of my apartment, but they all must be done.  I need to concentrate, people.  I need focus.  So for a few days, I’m afraid you’ll have to manage without much chucklehupdating.  There is just too much detail for me to get right, for me not to give it my full attention.  Attentiveness is one of my hallmarks and if I can’t do it right, I oughtn’t try it at all.  That’s my style, people.  It’s who I am.  It’s what I do.  Which is not much, as far as this site goes, for a few days. 

Maybe soon you’ll see a new vision of the Chucklehut.  My crack squad of drowsy engineers is even now procrastinating about coming up with a redesign for the whole damn thing.  But again, that demands attention, which is in short supply (especially with all this cough syrup I’ve been drinking). 

But to thank you for your patience and consideration during this brief hiatus, permit me to recall that last night at 10:30 we drove past Sacred Heart High School where a big sign now reads: “8th Grade Girls - Accepting Applications.” I’m thinking I’d like one.  Maybe something in a volleyball player?  Come on folks, its the holidays - dig deep!

And now - back to my damn life.  Have a happy.  Have two.  See ya soon.
