I'm Back!

If I were famous, this 2 1/2 month absence would have been a sojourn into rehab. If I were a politician, I would have been "spending time with my family" (also rehab). If I were in the Bush Administration, I would be fighting an indictment (and in rehab). And if I were Conlon Nancarrow, I'd be in self-exile to Mexico City (and in need of rehab).

Sadly, I am a mere mortal and my excuse is far more pedestrian. I've been -wait for it- busy.

But now I'm back and promise to post often. Heck, I'll even have a blog-warming party. Send all gifts, i.e. decorative photographs of John Glenn, Gary Wilson, 3-legged dogs, Ann Coulter and Fergie, so I can fix Speak Easy up right nice.

See you on the interweb!
