New Year's Blog Resolution

Since joining Facebook, I have spent very little time updating my blog. I resolve to do better and post more often in 2009!

Happy Holidays!

And I thought $1 Billion for Georgia was a lot!

I've been on vacation, but just thinking about blogging and looked at my last post. It seems so naive now...

I'm going to Netroots Nation! (aka Yearly Kos)

Just got the go-ahead to pack my bags for Austin, TX to spend 4 days hanging out with bloggers...Check out Netroots Nation if you haven't heard of it (or its previous incarnation, Yearly Kos) before!

I'm sure I'll be blogging from the convention!

The Flu Shot (and the health risks of blogging)

Okay, I did not get the flu shot this year. I just kind of forgot about it. Well, I've been sick for three weeks now! I was starting to feel better after basically sleeping for a week, then I started feeling bad again and my fever came back. I finally went to the doctor and was told I probably had a new virus on top of the one I was just getting over...so, I went home and went back to bed.

Now that I'm again starting to feel better - although I now have a nasty cough - I am reading a little news about the flu this year. Did anyone else know that this year's flu shot is only effective against one of the three strains going around this year? The job of predicting which strains are going to hit has to be tough, but is that the best they could do? Is the same guy predicting the shot for next year?

So, I wonder if I would have avoided any of this illness if I had gotten the flu shot...doesn't seem likely. Maybe the flu shot is all just a marketing gimmick to give more money to big pharma...

That was a long way of saying, "I haven't blogged in weeks because I haven't done anything in weeks."

Hopefully, I'll feel like blogging again soon...of course the NYT is saying blogging may be bad for my health!! Guess it's a good thing I only do this for fun!
