State of the blog
State Sen. Jim Argue, honored last night at the Peabody as one of four humanitarians of the year by Just Communities of Central Arkansas, formerly NCCJ, said this to me at the reception beforehand: "You're a terrible blogger. You never update it. I've quit even checking you." Don't I know it? I started so strong with this new toy during the legislative session. I'd see something in a Capitol corridor and blog it in real time. But I turned out to be a kid with a new toy, and kids tire of toys. I write five columns a week. I go around the state talking to groups. I play tennis four times a week. I need to cut the grass. I'm going on a two-week vacation in a couple of weeks. So, where does this blog stand? Dormant. But not dead. I reserve the right to jump-start the rascal whenever the mood strikes or events warrant. By the way, Joycelyn Elders was another honoree last night and said some fun stuff about sex that will be the subject of my Sunday column. You'll notice I save the good stuff for the newspaper. I'm incurably old media, I guess. Incurably old, period.
