Through a confluence of events, some of which are being written about in this very journal, I have not enjoyed one of my very favorite summertime traditions in many weeks; that being the televisual feast that is Friday Night Baseball. In fact I have seen very few Mets games at all since the last day of May. But life happens, and I have found that when it does it happens suddenly and compounds quickly until the proverbial snowball becomes a metaphorical avalanche of the mundane.
Fortunately for my loved ones and myself, nothing bad has happened, in fact many good things have – but my attention, as it inevitably does as summer begins, has drifted away from the television and with it the New York Metropolitans.

It hasn’t completely escaped my thoughts that there are more people who have read, and continue to read this journal beyond those that share either my last name or portions of my DNA.
Despite a somewhat lengthy hiatus, I am composing some new posts now, a multi-part series entitled What I Did On My Summer Vacation, which should fill the time-gap and help bridge the somewhat loose narrative already running through these threads.
I will also be resuming posting my thoughts on the current state of the Mets and of baseball in general. So have no fear dear reader, you can still participate in the utter mess that is my mind for a bit longer. As I write this the current temperature is north of ninety and my children haven’t even woken up yet. Here in the Northeastern United States we are firmly entrenched in the dog days of summer, and I am looking forward to watching my first Friday night game in weeks from the cool comfort of a well air conditioned room. As long as the power holds, of course.
