It seems I have about 45 minutes to post my first blog of 2009 and not blow the commitment I made to post once a day for a month. I had started two other posts, but have allowed them to languish.
I had a plan for this month's blogging. It was to write down my plan for a better year for myself and those who are stuck here with me inside my sphere of influence. And even though I have what I consider a damn good excuse to not post (I have once again come down with some kind of evil bug that my body has decided to morph into something more than what it would be for someone with a normal immune thing going on), I will sneak in this pitiful post so as to not blow a commitment before I even get started. Call this first post of the month of resolutions my resolution to keep promises. Somehting I have at different times found it easy to shine on.
Hope everyone's holidays were pleasant and even joyful. This has been about the oddest Christmas season I have had in many years.

Trying to escape sphere of influence... Crum's mind control too great... cannot break free... cannot break free...
Oh, and Happy New Year, Crum.
El Cerdo, you are right...it is hard to stay away from this site, though I have been sporadic myself.
Sorry you're feeling under it, Crummy - hope you feel better soon and I'm looking forward to reading more of your words this year.
Ahhh the best laid plans of men and mice.
You didn't think you can get out of here that easy did you? You'll be back. They always come back.
Aw pull up man. I plan to have you back as a reader of me fiction. Don't give up one me.
Plus, there is the fun of virtual friends. I love them--don't have to shower for comb my hair, or even ever get out of jammies. I actually prefer most of you guys to my actual, real world friends. I've know them so long now they're like siblings with habits and behaviors that annoy me and make me want to give them a smack.
Never having had children of my own I find that my friends are not the worlds best parents. If they made terrible choices when young they now overcompensate and are turning their young (now middle aged) in to whining babies. My real world friends assume that their children always want to see them just any old time the parent has the time or money to drop in and stay a week or two. I always sympathize with the kids. I have never known a "child" who looked forward to a visit from a parent longer than a couple of days. But my friends are never able to see their younger selves in their children. Any mother-in-law who drops in for ten days and tries to "clean up for you dear" as she reorganizes the cupboards and closets, scrubs floor or otherwise, by her behavior, points out the daughter-in-law's lack of organization or attention to clean floors or a toilet you could drink out of is a fool.
I believe that the best policy for parents is to only visit when asked, and never to stay in the child's house--get a motel room.
All of this is wildly off topic and strange, but well, where could I go to rant about such things if you weren't here?

Hell, except for when camping I've posted everyday for almost three years, sometimes two or three times a day.
My christmas went just as I thought it would. And I had a peaceful and quite New Years Eve.
What do I expect out of 2009? Not a hell of a lot.
Evil bug? This isn't some alien invasion thing where you enslave the human race from your interstellar outpost in Maine, is it?
