Chapter Two, Wherein We All Continue As If I Have Been Blogging Since July

Wow, well...sorry.

It looks like the last six months of this blog were accidentally deleted by the server. Totally. Even the archive--it's like every entry after July 31st just never happened.

We lost the hilarious and the poignant, from my award-winning rants about traffic in each of our fifty states to the daily chronicle of my month-long battle with dry skin. The serialized novel that John Updike reviewed in the New Yorker as "the remarkable first effort from Richard Russo's heir apparent." Gone forever.

Personally, I'll remember each of those entries with the regret of a perfectionist but, yes, a little pride. We move on, though. The past lies behind us and the future is bright. It has new challenges and, unfortunately, the future appears to be wearing a sweater.

Come on back tomorrow.
