Return of the Rambles

To my loyal readers, I believe I owe you all an apology and explanation for the almost two month hiatus from blogging.

I had failed to realize how many lives had been touched by my thoughts and opinions on "all things Mambels" until I ceased to ramble. I have received emails from old friends in Seattle, a man in Basel, Switzerland, a lieutenant in the U.S. Army stationed in Germany, and a young Chinese boy I met in a WNBA Discussion forum. (Note: After the Seattle Storm won the title last year, I jumped on that bandwagon faster than a tween at a Hillary Duff concert. I spent about two weeks, non-stop, on a Dawgman.com style forum for Storm fanatics.)

To those in Seattle, Charlottesville, or throughout the globe, thank you. Without your readership, feedback, and encouragement, the Rambles could not attract the advertising revenue that keeps this ship afloat. For any pain this blogging sabbatical may have caused, I am truly sorry.

As for an explanation, the best I can do is as follows:
November 21-November 23: Hangover following birthday weekend (see previous post)
November 24-November 28: Thanksgiving Break
November 28-December 22: Finals
December 22-December 23: Horrible food poisoning thanks to the good folks at Panera.
December 23-January 1: Holiday with Family, Helen, and Friends
January 2-Present: General laziness, VH1 Celebreality, Saved by the Bell, and writer's block.

This semester I will try to update this site once a week or so and hope to have a few new posts this week to get things going. All for now...
