Crazy busyness ’round here.  Mostly the good kind, but it sucks up writing time.  You know I want to talk more about health care, and about 6,000 other timely economic and political topics.  Just not happening right now.   Goofing off is in short supply, and goofing off with brain engaged even more so.  One of these centuries I’ll get back into the swing of things.  Meanwhile I’ll note that the Darwins are doing plenty o’ posting these days, and I’m sure you can find others.

Didn’t realize it had been so long since my last post. Have written for you many times in my head, but apparently the whole ‘typing’ thing never materialized.  The free time has pretty much dried up lately, not really sure where it’s gone, though there are rumors it is in my garden.   Will get back here with some health care topics and other exciting stuff just as soon as I can.  Meanwhile, it’s spring!  Back away from the computer . . . Go play outside.

. . . don’t wreck it by spending your time here.  (My apologies, of course, to those who use this blog as their weekly penance.  Go read back-issues.)  Easter deluge of pent-up economics topics coming your way next week.  The promised health care costs discussion, a bit on federal budgets disguised as the regularly-scheduled history article, and something else I meant to tell you but I can’t remember what.

Need to read? Today’s WSJ has a great op-ed by Nina Olson, your taxpayer advocate, my hero.  Go look.

Have a good Friday, a holy Saturday, and a wonderful Easter.

Jen.

Busy week last week, out of town Friday through Sunday, came down with the flu Saturday night . . . Have a draft of health care costs part II queued up for you, but am saving the final edit until the brain is working better.  Did get to a read a nice bit of clean-cut catholic fiction, which I will post a blurb on as well here in a few days.  Blogging feverishly, literally, not being the best way.
