Neglect

This blog has been a lot like Nic's plants over December and January. In the spirit of Easter, Jesus really said it best... well... I'm sure he said something about how his words are the water. There's a lot of stuff about words and water in the Bible, no doubt about it. Anyway, ERICtalk has been under distress lately. I've been waking up, listening to an MPR podcast, and then going to work. Then, at night my writing has taken back seat to a book about the First Minnesota volunteers in the Union army and Battlefield Bad Company 2. Furthermore, over the past few weeks I've been taking my sweet time affirming my attendance at Hamline Law School. This weekend I finally sent in my 500 sweet sweet dollars (well my parents') to the school and I am officially a piper. I have some other loose ends to lock up, but we're pretty much set. That being said, it's been easy to put off writing when I've had that to fill my "usefulness meter" every week. However, that has passed and I'd like to get back into it. So, I am pledging to begin posting again. No more neglect.
