Lack of postings

Sorry about the lack of posts the past week. A number of things contributed to my absence. Biggest was a stream of relatives visiting over the Thanksgiving weekend followed by hanging the Christmas lights. Secondly, there was an a lack of inspiration for blogging. Relatively, things have been quiet on the political front. Other than political in-fighting over who would be in which leadership position in the Senate and House not much is going on except folks positioning themselves for 2008 (which I'll get to later). I highly doubt anyone was interested in reading about the spider I found behind the containers of Christmas decorations. It was humongous. It was so big I didn't kill it right away. I waited until the kids came home from school so I could show it off before killing it. Enough about spiders, more later about sports and politics.
