Getting Back in the Swing...

... the mad rush at the office will be coming to an end in about a month.  It's been a crazy time but in some ways rewarding.  It's never enough to fully compensate time away from the family, but in this economy, it's a blessing to have a job.

Hopefully this frees up more time to live a more balanced life, which for me includes more consistent writing.  Many ideas have been stockpiling in my head and I'd like to just get them down on paper, or at least through my keyboard.

As usual, I'm inconsistent about where to write... so this blog post serves as an experiment to see how well blogging and FaceBook can live together in peace and harmony.  Facebook is where I've started to jot down just a few thoughts... and hopefully there can be a good balance between public and semi-public expression with these two tools.

Mad about Mad Men (and Women)

I love TV, or more accurately, compelling storytelling on television. There have been very few times that I've looked forward to a single episode or show, savored the viewing, then spent the next day basking in the glow of excellence. Last night was one of those events: the season season finale of AMC's Mad Men.

Few shows are lucky to make it through a full season, fewer still can claim excellence in its first (and only?) season. And almost every show has a sophomore slump. Not Mad Men. If anything, Matt Weiner and company have ratcheted beyond an almost perfect first season...
