Facebook killed my Blog

Ok...I told myself I wouldn't do it. I already had too much going on to add yet another item to the fray. I held off responding to friendly invitations, and resisted the advances of yet another potential commitment.

Then my old high school friend Lauren Henry invited me to check out Facebook. Damn her eyes! After I took the plunge and set up a page for myself; the friends, old acquaintances and myriad lost work pals came streaming back into my life - or at least my contact list.

All at the expense of this blog.

While I was FB'ing my latest...grumpyvoices.com looked on morosely - bearing the sad news of Schatzi's demise for more than four months before I decided to freshen things up.

Oh...the shame.

In that time, a great deal has happened.

* Christmas came and went - as did the epic snowfall.
* I had a great turnout for my MLK tribute at the Clinton Street Theater.
* Celebrated Obama's inauguration with 250 screaming liberals at the CST - on the big screen!
* Saw a bunch of operas - and a few Blazer games with my Mom.
* Watched in the Rose Garden as Brandon Roy racked up 52 on Phoenix - and scored a game-winner against New York.
* Helped break up a fight at a party for James Westby's new film "Rid of Me".
* Got my contract with Regence renewed until December 2009...whoo-hoo!
* Saw "Wicked" at the Keller...a truly enjoyable Broadway experience.
* Watched Greer win his first competitive award for Aikido...still wondering how that happened.
* Won a tidy sum playing the Oregon Lottery...
* Commemorated what would have been the third birthday of Elle and Quinn - by spending the day with Alexis and Greer at the Oregon Garden.

Suffice it to say, it has not been boring these past few months. Hopefully, I'll find the urge to return to my writing again...since Facebook only slightly satisfies in that department.

I'm crossing my fingers.
