Facets of Our Lives

My sincere apologies for my protracted absence. I've begun working in California, and much of what I do is write all day -- so writing more at night and on weekends has had a reduced appeal. But I was telling a co-worker about my blogging activities, and I thought it was time that I incorporate this blog back into my life again. So here we are. Monday is normally my foodie day, but with my traveling, that's become even more of a challenge -- so I'll return to this topic next week, just in time for Thanksgiving. :-) Tomorrow, on politics day, I'll give my take on the recent election. It was monumental in a lot of ways. Wednesday is sex/relationship day, so I'll have a post on workplace flirtation and romance. Now that I don't work from home a lot, I have some material for this based on my observations and experiences. Not that I didn't have any before, but it's definitely in my face these days. Thursday is pets day, and since I last wrote, my ...

I'm trying to get back on track with regular entries here, but I am working again, so that has sapped some of my time. Also, some expansion is coming. To the left, you'll see links to my new podcast and my additional work on EmandLo.com , both of which are coming soon. Thanks for sticking with me and reading -- I really appreciate all the feedback, and I hope you'll enjoy the new work to come!

Hello again. I apologize for this period of radio silence. I'd been writing consistently for several weeks, and I needed a break. Mostly because I found myself getting angry, and I just didn't know how to keep this blog from becoming a constant, curmudgeonly rant. You see, I'm just an average, well-educated American. I vote in every election, even my local elections, because it makes me feel like I am part of the process. I also read a lot so that I can be informed about my candidates and the issues, and so I can know what I'm talking about when it comes time to make my opinion known. Even for this blog, I research topics before I write about them -- even if I give an opinion, I try to give a basis for that opinion, or give my readers somewhere else to turn for more information. But lately, I am enormously discouraged. My four core topics are food, politics, sex & relationships, and pets/animals. In the US, we pay subsidies to agro-industries for specific...

Ok, so we're coming to the end of week 6 of this blog, believe it or not. So I'm looking for feedback... likes? dislikes? Looking for more of a particular topic? Less of another? A new topic? Questions? Suggestions? Lemme have it. Comment below or e-mail me at facetsblog@gmail.com .

Just wanted to say thank you to all of you already reading. I've had over 70 page views in three days, which is way more than I expected. I mean, it could be just one of you reloading the page 70 times, desperate for a new post, but I don't really think so. :-D So thanks for the encouragement. Main post to come later today!
