Here for my semi-annual post

This is a bit strange. I came here just wanting to dash off a few words about running and a couple of other things that have been occupying my thoughts lately. When I arrived, though, all these opportunities jumped out at me! I could add linking widgets at the bottom of my page, for all those people who have been chomping at the bit immediately to distribute my wisdom via Twitter, Facebook and all the other new arbiters of social interaction. So I did it!

Then, even better, I could Monetize my blog. Monetize? My blog? As if the readers of my blog, in their vast numbers, would make this a side biz for me. So, what the heck. Now (until I decide it's too obnoxious --probably the next time I visit the blog) my fans will have the opportunity to click through to -- I don't know what -- and make me a fortune.

And now that I've spent all the time to set up that foolishness, my budgeted time for posting has expired. I'll try to get back to it later today. Just as a teaser, though, I'll tell you it has to do with running, alternative therapies and positive thinking. It's sure to be thought-provoking and compellingly written. I promise.
