Missed me, missed me, now you've got to kiss me

By CATHERINE IDZERDA ( Contact ) Monday, January 2, 2012 - 5:01 p.m.

I’m back.

I can’t imagine you missed me terribly, but perhaps a tiny bit of your soul missed my adjective-ridden missives and smarty-pants remarks.

No? I didn’t think so, but I missed you.

So I’m back. 2012 topics will include the advisability of swimming in Lake Superior, even in August; garden planning; the state of journalism; art events in Janesville; the habits of my podmate, Neil, and anything else that strikes me as funny or odd.

Oh, and curling. I’ll probably write about curling. I never mean to write about curling, it just happens.

Gardens, have you gotten your first catalog yet?

Curlers, have you perfected your draw weight yet?

A loaf of bread, a fresh tube of Chapstick, and thou. ;)

When you get around to the state of journalism, I'd be interested in the effects the introduction of radio and television had on it, compared to the effects of the Internet.

I'm glad to see you back, and I'm hoping that the gardening catalogs start arriving soon. It gets me through the winter.

Is Lyle Amundson still curling? I took a class at U-Rock, then subbed on his Thurday night men's team many years ago. Loved it!
