I'm back. For good this time.

So I've now been away from Emory for exactly 8 months.   I really like my post-Emory life.  DC is great. But there are so many things I miss from Emory.  Most of it is rather predictable: friends, the campus, College Council, Fox Brothers BBQ, etc, but I'm surprised by one thing I seem to miss more than I ever thought I would:

I miss writing.

I guess I never realized how much I enjoyed writing my column for the Emory Wheel.   It gave me an outlet to discuss or vent about whatever issue I found important.  I wrote it weekly for three years and bi-weekly for the last few months.  Sure, I had more than one fight with my editors over the years who would muzzle me for various reasons (mostly because the Wheel never has had and never will have any backbone), but more often than not I got to write what I wanted. 

I've always loved writing.  I do writing at work now, but most of it is technical writing and I miss normal writing.  I miss sharing my opinion even more than writing.  So I'm back to BVDH The Blog.  I know the last few re-starts of the blog have been aborted on takeoff, but I'm in for the long-haul now. 

I hope you'll stop by every once in a while.
