I realize this is technically supposed to by my blog and all, but I have to tell you, writing piece for the conversation section falls on my priority list right now somewhere behind picking out my gravestone. I’m moving back to Texas this Friday, so I can plan my wedding, and thus I’m finishing up the four jobs I’ve been attempting to balance all summer. Oh, and did I mention “I’m planning my wedding?”

So, as I said, the priority list… has kind of excluded sharing my observations on life—though here’s a freebie: “packing is the suck.” But because I care about you, and because I don’t want the click you just spent on this site to be wasted, please give a warm welcome to your temporary guest blogger, Mr. Lord of the Dance himself ( and also my brother ), Jonathan Carden. He’ll keep you entertained until my life quiets down. From what I hear, we have similar senses of humor – although, if I’m forced to be honest (when he’s not around), I might admit that he’s probably a little bit on the funnier-than-me side.

But don’t go telling him that.

See you when I climb out from under these boxes,
