No, I have not been planning a run for Governor.
No, I have not died.
No, I have not fallen off the face of the earth.
Yes, I thought very seriously about taking a wrecking ball to The Grounds. I wrote the farewell post about a dozen times, but couldn't quite publish it. So I guess I'm going to give this another go.
First, a word about where I was. Let's just say that everyone should have a few months like I've just experienced. I've learned a lot, grown a little and reinforced some priorities. Those things deserved my undivided attention, so that's what they got. I sincerely appreciate the calls and emails I got during my hiatus. They are the primary reason I'm strolling back to the plate.
As to the blog, I doubt I ever publish more than once or twice a week. I've got a lot going on and time won't permit. I'll do longer columns that might cover some dated material but some new ways to look at the issue. I look forward to the banter with my friends on both sides of the aisle so keep it coming, but keep it civil.
Spring is in the air. Opening Day is around the corner and the World Baseball Classic is turning out to be better than advertised. Like the boys of Summer, my offseason is over.
Play ball.
P.S. If you're not watching the WBC, shame on you.
