Quand il n'y a plus rien à retrancher

Many people who look at this page are surprised that I broke a 27-month blogging fast to post about swimming animals, instead of the usual blog subjects: Republicans, Internet fads, and whatever it is that you and your friends do all day. But after that important animal feature, I went back on blog hiatus. So I've had several conversations approximately like this one:

“Hey, Shields, why don't you post to your blog more often? One post in three years? What's that about?”

“Well, 92% of Internet users do not blog at all, so actually, once in three years is relatively often.”

That usually throws people off balance, and I can change the subject to something more interesting — buildings, maybe, or food.

But it seems you are still checking in. My New Year's promise to you, my loyal readers: I will post to my blog at least three times in 2007. This means you will enjoy my writing no less than 50% more often than in 2006. Don't say I never did anything for you.

P.S. Kurt points out that I was wrong about the largest swimming mammal. Elephants are excellent swimmers.
