Summer Hiatus = Over

As I thaw from the suspended animation that has come to typify my blog this past summer, a faint chill tingles my newly shaven head. My favorite season is here: Autumn! Just in case you were wondering, whenever Autumn gets picked on by the other seasons because of his peculiar sounding name, he goes by the much more gangsta: Fall! Who wants to mess with Fall huh? Spring with your flowers and showers? Didn't think so punk!

Speaking of seasons ... hmmm, summer. Where in the world did you go? Down super busy street next to no time for blogging lane, that's where. Seems many of you have missed me during my summer blogging hiatus. You can tell by some of the spirited comments and IMs I've been receiving as of late:

Well come on! What are you waiting for? Give some of your... I think the.. uh.. "Gangsta" way of saying it is "NorCal," (maybe?) some love and post something!

I'm tired of cockroaches.

I'm about to give up on your blog.

Ouch.

I smell something, and it's not the litterbox ... it's my readers' bile-filled ANGST. Hopefully the following will cheer you up a bit. Though I will undoubtedly post more about some of the more significant moments of this summer's past, I've decided to give you a quick pictoral rundown of this summer's events in the interim. Hover over each pic for some gripping color commentary from yours truly:



Fast forward to today, and voila, you're all caught up. Till next time!

Next time on TGI EPH:

Many of you will be familiar with my next post as I tell it at least once every Halloween season. It's a story so blood-curdingly frightening, it's made lesser men puke, pee and cry -- ALL AT ONCE. Ahhhhhhhh! Make sure to visit again on Friday the 13th when we take a trip to the Evil House of China. Dun dun dunnnnnn!?!
