What to say? While we’ve kept in touch, I’ve spent the last few years speaking solely on the behalf of my clients. It’s about time I called you up and let you know what’s been going on with me, on a personal level.

The big news is, my wife and I have a baby girl. She turns two this summer and is our world. And to be honest, she’s the main reason I stopped writing. While I could make the excuse that business has been too brisk, that I can’t stand to look at a computer when I come home, that I just got tired of the whole blogging thing, truth is that I didn’t want to broadcast her life online. I wanted to respect her privacy (and besides, my wife does a fantastic job of mommy blogging and I simply can’t compete with that) and frankly, nothing else was going on besides tending to her.

As she’s getting bigger, I’m starting to reclaim more of my me time. Ginger and I have started watching movies again. I’ve discovered some amazing music. And my paper journal sitting in my bedside table is just kind of sad in the age of multimedia overload. So, I’ve decided it’s time to start putting some things online again: A rundown of my day (bo-ring), the food we cooked (lately fantastic) and snapshots of the pop-culture milieu that I wade through.

Just wanted you to know I was going to be around a little more often, and I’m looking forward to catching up. You know, on a personal level.

Yours,

Lee
