Thanks for all the sass...

In case you can't tell by the time lapsed between posts and the wildly shifting content, this blog is in its "formative stage". Now that I'm working from home, I hope to be able to have more time to dedicate to making this into something fun for me and others. One writer that has been and will continue to be an inspiration to me is Anne Ursu (aka Batgirl), the creator of the greatest Twins blog of all-time.

A few months ago, Batgirl gave birth to "Dashiell J. Batbaby", her "miracle premie". Understandably, the rigors of motherhood have limited her writing this season, though in quantity alone, I must say. Today she announced her retirement from blogging. "I simply do not have time to do this blog well," she explains, "and there is no point in doing it any other way." Of course, many of us loyal readers wouldn't mind her doing it in some other way--any other way--but we appreciate her commitment to the high standard of quality that she has set over the last three years.

Whether she was reenacting key plays in Legovision, awarding the coveted "Boyfriend of the Day" award, or simply skewering the Twins for their "ass-battery", her writing was always entertaining, topical, and completely unpretentious--everything a blog should be. I'll always remember the Twins' amazing surge to the 2006 division title, and how Batgirl's hilarious, spot-on postings provided the perfect commentary to those memorable few months. If my blog ever were to become half of what Batgirl's was, I would consider it an astounding success. For then, I'd be half-way to blogging perfection.
