Yep, still blogging

I'll be the first to admit that I deserve a public flogging for being AWOL on the blogging for almost a month now.
Basically, I pulled over at a rest stop on the information superhighway and took a nice long nap.
Taking two weeks of vacation and battling awful allergies that just won’t subside haven’t exactly helped matters either. Plus, it’s that time of year when ennui replaces enthusiasm.
There really isn’t much to talk about in the South between spring football practice and the start of summer drills the first week of August.
The Braves are tanking, so there isn't much point in discussing the possibility of a return to the postseason.
The Hawks made at least one savvy draft pick by scooping up Florida's Al Horford third overall (Not sure if Acie Law represents an answer at point guard. I would have liked to see them take a chance on Georgia Tech's Javaris Crittenton, even though he might have been a reach with the 11th pick). But the Hawks are consistently stale, so who really cares?
Columbus native Frank Thomas hit his 500th career home run while I was on vacation and celebrated by getting ejected at the end of the game. It was in keeping with his reputation for balancing immense talent with flareups of surliness.
Other than that, all we have to talk about this month is the possibility that Larry Munson might not last as Georgia's radio announcer for more than another season and whether Nick Saban could beat Chuck Norris in a steel cage match.
Southeastern Conference football media days start a week from Wednesday, so there will be much cause for rejoicing and blogging in the near future. Stay tuned.
