A Return to the Fray

I've been out of the loop for awhile now, partly because I'd been laid off, and partly, like an online friend and fellow blogger, I'd lost both the energy and desire to maintain a blog. Friends and family both have been asking when I'd get back to my duties as a blogger, and initially, it seemed like a bad idea. I'm at work in a new field, a field that I actually pursued an education to better qualify myself for employment – and more importantly, a field in which I had an abiding interest. Blogging would unavoidably involve my new career path – and since I value my employment, I really wasn't sure I should pick up the virtual pen.

Gary, over at Life on the Installment Plan, is clearly able to write about his experience, and so I've decided to be at least as stalwart as he… if he picks up his virtual pen again (wink, wink). So, the Skald's saga continues, albeit with a small revision in perspective – politics? Of course. Religion and philosophy? Can't help myself. The Criminal Justice System? Most certainly.

The aim is to post a weekly article – I'll see you then!
