I know, I know...I've been absent without leave the past 2 weeks. One of those weeks was the most wonderful time of the year--no, not Christmas--which had me away from home and walking through a giant convention center most of the day. The other week was one spent recuperating from walking through a giant convention center most of the day. I have been spending a very quiet, very alone time, which involves a few movies, lots of reading, and some sleeping, along with avoiding any sentence--written or spoken--that has the word "Comic-Con" in it.
For a while now I've been dissatisfied with this here blog, so I reckon it's time for a change. I really kind of feel it's time for a change in a number of areas of my life, but this is one that's relatively easy and controllable, so here we are. You'll notice a number of different things--I hope--from the new banner to the now easy-to-read topic graphics on each post (these might get annoying after a while, so let's just see how it goes, okay?, and the larger, serif type style, for those of us who need a larger, serif type style to read things on the screen these days.
Hopefully this change will motivate me to write again. I was tired, folks, I don't mind telling you. I do love to write--I hope it shows at least sometimes on here--so let's see what happens over the rest of the year and then I'll decide whether to continue or to shut it all down. In the meantime, let me know what you think about the "all-new" Innocent Bystander.
It looks more "fun" now
