Forgive me blog readers, I have sinned. It's been more than a month since my last confession, er, blog entry.

Since my last blog entry, I've had about 30 days of the winter blahs. I slave for Scripps Networks Interactive all day, doing my part to make the shelter category online a better place for you and me. At night I lay in bed and watch "Law and Order" reruns. My TiVo spends the day recording them for me while I'm at work, because L&O airs on some cable channel, somewhere, every day. I try to guess the cast members before the opening credits. I only watch the ones with Jerry Orbach in them. Or young Chris Noth.  I delete the ones with Paul Sorvino. And I don't even record the L&O: Criminal Intents with Vincent d'Onofrio in them.

Yeah, it's a rut.

But I've been blogging somewhere for 7 years now. I'm due a break.
