Back by popular demand...

Okay, so the Wife making sarcastic cracks in the comments section probably doesn't constitute "popular demand." But, as I've said many times before, this is my blog and if I want to attach to the Wife the importance signified by "popular," then I will. Plus, this may be the only time either the Wife or I is called popular - we don't get out much. Anyway, the important point is that I'm back.

And why is that important? Well, it's because of the multiple ways in which I am back. I'm back in Columbia, and boy have things changed. Who knew that so much could happen in mid-Mo for a week? If I had known that they were going to change their calendars from 2006 to 2007, I would have stayed. Okay, so nothing really changed. But why would anyone want it to? BooCoMo is just one apple tree short of the Garden of Eden in my opinion. Why would I say that? The Wal-Mart to people ratio is fantastic. For every 45,000 people in Boone County, there is a Wal-Mart. Compare this to Indianapolis, where I grew up, and there is only 1 Wal-Mart for every 170,500 people in Marion County. That means I have nearly 4x as much space in the aisles every time I subject my soul to the possibility of eternal hellfire by wandering into that venerable bastion of corporate greed.

I'm also back at work, which isn't really noteworthy except for the fact that it gives me the time to come up with new blog posts, especially ones that require calculating the person to Wal-Mart ratio for various locations. I'm also back in the saddle again, which really doesn't mean anything as far as I know, but I just wanted to include a random reference to a song that probably hasn't been on the radio in years. Additionally, I'm bringing sexy back, which really went without saying, but I thought I'd throw it out there for your benefit anyway. And finally, I'm back to teasing you with new blog posts. Maybe this time I'll actually follow through and update this thing more than once every 12 days. Then maybe I'd be back in your hearts too.
