Been a little while since I posted. I haven’t exactly had blogger’s block, but I also haven’t felt particularly like crafting any vignettes about my life either. One of those periods of time where I’m sort of glad that I don’t have my self-imposed daily posting requirements. Although it can run the risk of there being “missing time” from the proverbial posterity record. So to rectify…

In the last week, I have:
-Had 3 mini-migraines (less than 24 hours each), seeming to represent “aftershocks” of a sort after the 54-hour fiasco last week.
-Been even more focused than the recent normal on stocks, but with admittedly pretty good results.
-Gone to Fresno on the train, staying for 2.5 days, and returning in the van with the IV family. The trip was marked by remarkable evidence of recovery for Em’s mom, a critical mass of overall noise in the house denoted by an increasingly critical mass of children (6 and counting), tremendous failure at gameplay on my part (we played plenty of games, but I only won once and the game setup made it not really count), and spending a lot of quality time with the two eldest children in the Garin Clan, who have finally reached levels of maturity and verbosity at which I start to find people interesting.
-Been empaneled on a jury, with opening statements yesterday and a roughly week-long schedule ahead (more I am legally bound not to say, yet).

It’s been an interesting little run of small breaks from the routine, though it still pales in comparison to the level and rate of change I am anticipating for later in 2009. Other than the hefty spate of migraines, though, I’m not complaining.

Hopefully I’ll be able to return to a regular schedule of descriptiveness sometime soon. I would imagine that this March, in particular, will bring the typical seasonal deluge of activity and inspiration.
