So much for resolutions (updated! stub expanded!)

This particular post is going to sound like one of those wikipedia entries: “this is a stub.”
I haven’t written anything on this blog for February. This does not bode well for good intentions. Yes, I’ve been sort of kind of busy. But not enough to justify the lack of loquaciousness.
I will try to expand the stub shortly.
I wish I were as consistently witty as Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert). I don’t always agree with his political positions, but his blog is always entertaining, and often laugh-out-loud funny. (Have I said how much I hate “LOL,” especially when it’s pronounced the way it’s spelled? Spare me. LOL. Gag.)
I am witty. I know this. Sometimes other people recognize this quality in me, too, but I am by far my best audience. And often when I think of something that amuses me, it amuses others. I have managed from time to time to write some pretty witty stuff. My favorite piece is still my “lighter minds” article in Sunstone some years ago, “Buttons, or Her Strength Lies in Her Principles,” which was based on a great drawing by Elizabeth Layton that I saw in (I think) the American Heritage Museum National Gallery of American Art in Washington, DC. (This drawing, “Buttons,” can be viewed on http://elizabethlayton.com.)
However witty I am, however, I am not consistent in my efforts to reach a broader audience. So I am not yet a rich and famous comedian nor comic writer. And until such time as I have the discipline to post on a regular if not daily basis, I have no one to blame but myself for the lack of income from this direction. And I suppose I will have to throw off the cloak of anonymity as well. Shoot. Kept me warm in the thought that TSA would have to work a little harder to figure out who I am.
