It seems that the Dixie Chicks have lost the hearts and minds of those “in” Dixie. They don’t appear to be doing well in their home state of Texas or the heartland of the country. They also seem to be able to find everything to blame except for themselves for the constant changing of their concerts and lack of ticket interest, sales and air time.

They should change their name to just “Chicks” or go for the name “Foot-n-Mouth” band because it looks like they lost a good portion of their fans or the fans aren’t ready to make nice either. In other words, the fans are putting new meaning to flipping someone the bird.

It's become clear to me of late that I simply don't have enough hours in the day to do all the things I'd like to do. Between work, TB, and the kids, I have a full plate - at the moment, hobbies are a luxury I don't have time for.

So I'm going to trim away a few activities I enjoy, and the blog is unfortunately on the list.

I'm not going away entirely - I may post occasionally about items I feel strongly about, and I may yet get TB to post - so for now, I'm leaving the blog up and running. There's just going to be much less activity for a while.

Perhaps as the mid-term elections heat up I'll try to find more time for posting.

In the meantime, I'd like to say thanks to my regular readers for their patronage, especially those who have taken the time to email.
