Hope and Hiatus

THAT'S it????? This is the wisdom of the noble savage dispensed with heartfelt serenity?? I mean, not only is the guy a Native American, and therefore filled to the brim with ancient wisdom, but he also wears a Yin/Yang t-shirt, for crying out loud! Wisdom of the North American First Peoples coupled with the ancient teachings of the mystical Far East and we get . . . "Live with hope"????? Wasn't that Bill Clinton's slogan in the '92 campaign?? I mean, didn't James Carville or someone come up with that?? I gotta believe that the Native American father/daughter combo has more to impart to us than that. I will live with hope that this is so.

Now, here is a blog announcement: Sometime in the near future, I will be taking a hiatus of indeterminate length. So, yes, a hiatus of unannounced length to be taken at an unannounced time. You will just all of a sudden notice . . . no posts for a week? What's going on?

Mr. Big Al and I are going to be welcoming a Little Big Al into our family shortly, and as we don't know for sure when the blessed event will occur and how frazzled we'll be in the immediate aftermath . . . blogging will likely be put on hold. Who knows? Maybe I will be so frazzled that I will need to harp on the comics even more. As an outlet for my stress and frustration I will post five times a day. Perhaps motherhood will soften me up a bit, and I will find joy and peace in the crazy antics of Dennis the Menace. Maybe our little guy will remind me so much of Marvin that I become the World's #1 Marvin Fan. Maybe "Big Al's Comic Blog" will be no more, and instead you all can read my thoughts at "Family Circus 4-Eva." Who knows? I certainly don't. Until the time comes, though, I will be here.
