<p>I am not making any promises for the next few weeks but I just thought I would offer this mea culpa just to let you know I haven&#8217;t forgotten about you.</p>
<p>Best,</p>

<p>Remember me?  I am the guy who used to post here.  Sure, I didn&#8217;t exactly light up the literary blogosphere (do they still call it that?) but I posted three of four times a week.</p>
<p>This site &#8211; when Jeff isn&#8217;t on a post binge &#8211; has turned into a Twitter Digest page and an archive for old reviews destined for lonely Google searches.  I think the kids would call this Blog Fail or something like that.</p>
<p>So.  Now that I have added my contractually required quarterly navel gazing post what does this even mean?  Good question.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t see my schedule allowing for posting two or three times a day any time soon.  Most likely we are looking at occasional reviews and commentary.</p>
<p>I think what is needed is for me to scale back my ambitions and apply KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid).  Less clutter; quality over quantity; etc.</p>
<p>Easier said than done of course, and I have said it more times than I care to remember, but it is the truth.</p>
<p>Here ends the lame site update &#8220;what should I do&#8221; post.  Feel the need to mock me?  Got a smart aleck remark?  Have a strong opinion?  Leave it in the comments &#8230;</p>
