6 Days No Blog

Michelle mentioned to me last night that I'd been a bit remiss in providing updates so far this week. And I have to admit that I realize now that I have. It's been 6 days since I last entertained you with a well-crafted, grammatically correct, insightful entry on the goings on of the UlloaSullivan conglomerate. I recognize that my legion of dedicated followers the World over have probably started the last few days with the disappointment of finding nothing new to read, and it gives me no pleasure to think that I might have been letting them down. Sometimes, however, as the say, it's necessary to take a short break to recharge the batteries, replenish the well, refill the bucket, top up the glass, and any other metaphors for when one simply has nothing to write about.

Actually, that's not quite been the case. The eagle-eyed among you will have noticed that I did actually edit the April 29th entry "Next UlloaSullivan Adventure Confirmed" earlier this week to link to the UlloaSullivanAdventures site where I am posting updates on the trip arrangements as they are made. I also posted another entry there yesterday letting people know that I had booked tickets for the Jason Mraz concert in Paris on June 29th. But I do admit that the audience for that activity is really only a small subset of the overall UlloaSullivan.com readership and that not everyone would be interested in those updates.

It's also not really true that there's been nothing to write about so far this week, either. I could easily have posted a review of the Wolverine Movie - it gets an A for both Hugh Jackman's handsomeness and for avoiding the pitfalls of other recent comic book transfers to the big screen (yes, Jay, I'm referring to Watchmen) - or of watching Meleena's school band perform in the Dinuba Cinco de Mayo Parade (they were better than the High School) or about getting sunburnt while working outside on Monday or about having a tire blow-out on Tuesday morning at, um, a speed slightly above the official legal limit (that story is actually kind of boring because I have run flat tires that, although rather expensive to replace, prevent such events become exciting for undesirable reasons).

The truth is, dear readers, that I didn't think any of this was up to the standard you have come to expect from me and this site. And I didn't want to bore you.

So there you have it. Today's update for today is simply to explain why there haven't been any updates for the past few days. Perhaps that in itself is boring. But then sometimes so is life. And that's just how it should be, actually. If there weren't brief moments of quiet every now and again we wouldn't recognize the noisy, exciting moments when they occur. Or, indeed, have much to look forward to.

But rest assured - when those moments do occur you'll hear about them here. And that's a promise.

By the way: I think Cornflake and/or Miko might be getting it on with a neighborhood tomcat.
