I also got to meet Robert Cottrol, another one-percenter, and David E. Young. I spoke for a few minutes with Cam Edwards (who attended the GunBlogger’s Rendezvous once before, so this is the second time I’ve met him) I got to sit down for about thirty minutes and talk with Sandy Froman, too! A one-percenter in pumps!

Next year the Annual Meeting in in Phoenix – just about two hours up the road from here, so I’ll definitely be attending that one, so long as work does not interfere. (And it better not!)

I’m HOME!

I went out to dinner with Bitter, Sebastian, and Joe Huffman last night, then we stood around in the hotel parking lot until about 10:00PM talking (and yes, I’m very glad Joe is on our side!! 😉 before we called it a night. I awoke at 4:30AM (Eastern time) and got home about thirty minutes ago. It’s 11:30 Pacific time, but on that clock I’ve been up since 1:30 this morning.

My posterior is dragging.

I thought I’d walked my a** off at the convention, but somehow it found me again, and is dragging the ground like an anchor.

Now I need to move a bunch of files, go through a bunch of pictures, and do a bunch of posting, but I think that will happen during the remainder of this week. I also need to rearrange my blogroll, because the “Bloggers I’ve Met” section just got a LOT bigger, and I’m going to have to do away with the redundancies. (That left sidebar is quite crowded.)

More posting later – probably tomorrow. I’m wiped out.

On the Next Überpost.

Yes, I know I’ve been promising it for a while, but so far it’s gone through three iterations and I still don’t have it hammered out to a conclusion I can live with. This one’s very complex, and complicated by the fact that I’m currently reading Liberal Fascism which plays directly on the topic I’m writing about.

So I’m going to shelve it (again) until I can complete Liberal Fascism and get all my metaphorical ducks in a row. It seems like every day I find some new news article or old archived post by someone that I bookmark and stick in the file for this piece.

I think this one’s going to be long, even for me.

The current working title, if you’re interested, is “The George Orwell Daycare Center,” and it’s a much reworked and very extended takeoff from an earlier post, Philosophy melded with a more recent one, Human Reconstruction, the Healing of Souls, and the Remaking of Society, with a lot of other stuff mixed in, and a little RCOB thrown in for spice.

In the mean time, short filler posts. Sorry.

Light Blogging.(but GREAT Comments!)

Today is the ninth day in a row that I’ve gone in to the office at 5:30AM. (Bear in mind, it’s about 35-40 minutes from my house to the office, and you can imagine what time I wake up in the morning.)

I’ve been keeping track of, and contributing to, the comment threads running here (thanks, Markadelphia!) but I’m a bit burned out in the evenings, so blogging has been and will continue to be light for a couple of days. Sorry.

Out of Town Again.

I’ll be spending the next couple of days in lovely Bagdad, AZ. Posting may be minimal to non-existant.

On the Paucity of Posts.

I don’t have Tam’s excuse of no service at home, nor do I have the excuse of no time. I’ve been working out of the office for the last several days, and getting home at a reasonable hour.

I just haven’t felt like blogging.

Actually, it’s been kinda nice. I may be not-blogging for a while longer. Plus, I’m going to be out of town starting July 5 with, as far as I can tell, no internet access at all for several days. THAT will be difficult, for as Tam asks, “How did our stone age ancestors live without it?” The writing part I can live without. The reading part is another story. Anyway, for those of you checking in on a regular basis and keeping up my Sitemeter numbers, thanks!
