Now All I Need Is A Frozen Poll To Lick...

No I'm not getting ready to go to the Packers / Giants game. I'm about to head out to work on a beautiful MLK holiday. In case you were wondering how cold it gets in Washington during the last week of January, let me tell you, it's really, really coooooooold. Luckily for me, I only have to walk half a mile to the metro.

A New Year and a New Blog

I never realized how much pain and suffering I was contributing to the world until I received an email from Kathy a couple of days ago. Needless to say, I was shocked by what I read. I'll recap the conversation below:

Re: I am finished

I am going to delete your blog from my favorities if you don't update it! It's coming up on a year since you posted and I am tired of checking for these supposed photos, only to find Kermit staring at me over and over as if to say, "you imbecile, there will never be anything new on this page, just me!" Kermit is haunting my dreams! update your blog!!!!.

I was also speaking to Matt the other day and I discovered that apparently John Pate considers me to be one of the worst human beings on the planet with internet access because I hadn't updated my blog regularly. Well, I've turned over a new leaf and a new blog. The Oxidation Spot, God rest its soul, will no longer exist. For 2008 and beyond, I'm now posting on my new blog, The Ward Room.

The Format of this blog will be different from my previous blog. I will be updating this blog regularly (at least 4 times per week) and I will include my thoughts, opinions, and random happenings to accompany my pictures and other media.

Here's to a better year and a better blog!
