Dog days of blogging

Am I the only one who is in a blogging lull right now? With Christmas just around the corner, life is particularly busy. A lot of the news is pretty mundane in the big picture. Politics, well talking politics is a partially useless endeavor. Things will not really get interesting on the political front until the new session of Congress. Talking '08 presidential politics is more than a little pointless. Potential candidates will gain, lose, and gain momentum again, all before the party races even begin to mean anything. A lot of talk right now is for talking's sake alone.

Not that I'm complaining. These lulls help recharge the batteries. Sometime in January things will start to fire back up again. Politics will have meaning. The world will change a little more and we'll need to re-engage it, sometimes with new ideas, sometimes with old. I think it is best to relax right now, enjoy the company of family and friends, and be ready to come back out blogging en force after the New Year. Now is the time for the fun writing, the quirky posts, and the nostalgic looks at the holiday season. We'll be back confronting reality soon enough.
