I’m Baaa-aaack . . .

If y’all listened to the show last Thursday (RealPlayer Feed), you’ll know that I did it by phone from my family’s ranch in Deep East Texas and was heading to Houston (South East Texas) the next day. These were two of the stops on my nearly 4000-mile Long Hard Ride (WMP Hear It, Buy It) in the words of the Marshall Tucker Band. Took two weeks, and constituted my summer vacation. More on that later.

In the meantime, I wanted to thank my good friend Steven Greydanus for helping out with the blogging duties while I was gone. All of my posts for the last two weeks were written before I left, as I knew I would have spotty Net access while gone.

Steven’s posts seem to have been a resounding success, as I knew they would be, and I have extended an invitation to Steve to keep posting here whenever he’d like. He tells me that he probably won’t be posting every day, but will whenever he wants to sound off on something.

So now we have a kind of symmetry: I’m a regular bloggist and part time movie critic via Steve’s site, and now he’s a regular movie critic and part time bloggist via my site. I think the book of Proverbs listed that as one of the benefits of friendship in that “two is better than one” passage or something.

Anyway, glad to be back, and three cheers for Steve for filling in! If you’d like to tell Steve how much you enjoyed his posts and encourage him to write more, use the comments box. 🙂
