Howdy, FolKs (he said sheepishly)...
I have been meaning to stop in for months and finally found the time, inspiration (and courage) to do so this afternoon (5pm, Fri 10-02-09 las vegas time).
I looked over my last blog and found that it is ONE FREAKIN YEAR (minus 2 feakin weeks) since my last post. Well, you coulda blown me over and tickled my fat a$$ with a feather duster... woulda guessed 4 or 5 months, tops.
Wanna say 'hey, do you still remember or give a $#i% about the old timer and how many of the old gang are still around'. I miss you guys and gals a lot because this was one of the few places I used to go where everyone knew my name and didn't care about trappings and all the peripheral crap that makes life a growing pain in the ar$e.
I started thinking about some sorta blog upon viewing the season-opening 2-hour HOUSE ep about 10 days ago (it was up-n-down) and how much it reminded me of one of my old faves ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST (like I'm the only one) and how I'm seeing a shutdown of the series coming up soon (this season?),
Also, the only new series I'm seeing that seems to have good, crisp writing (haven't seen them all) is COMMUNITY - really well written and with a passable cast of sorts. Also like THE GOOD WIFE because I've suddenly developed a real, hard crush on Juliana Marguiles (who reminds me partially of that old girl friend -- i.e. friend who is a girl -- that I mentioned several blogs < and apparently, years > ago).
My lawsuit is winding down - still - and we're past the depositions and headed to negotiations before the end of the year. I'm now on permanent disability and walk with a cane (exactly like my old buddy Dr. G .House - I mean exact mirror image).
Just stopped in to say Hi... gimme a shout back.
(oh, yeah... Courtney's lookin pretty good in COUGARS, btw)
Love, Jon
p.s... My writing skills seem shot. There's no snap... there's no crackle... JD, it's got no pop (name that quote, all of you .commers)

I am SOOOOOOOOOOO sorry.
I have been in my Rebel-Without-A-Cause / Howard-Hughes-Hermit Mode (for the last two months) and I have been as incommunicado as I have ever been in my life.
I hate the world (but not you guys) right now, and I'm punishing this planet by withdrawing from it.
I hope you all understand (especially any of you ladies who might have been thinking that you might consider sleeping with me - I am currently/surgically unable to finish the deal, although I am more than willing to start it).
I find myself in a RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE... not because I have run into further problems (except for the finishing-the-deal thing), but because this whole ordeal has dragged out, ad infitum.
My Mom (Me Mum for you UKers) is still alive and hangin in there (she's 88 - as you might remember) and I visited her a couple of weeks ago. To talk to her on the phone, you might guess she was in her 50's.
This is the first time I have felt the urge and the competency to really communicate to the 'outside' world in a long time. I hope you will understand/appreciate that I came here first. I love you all (especially any of you ladies who might have been thinking that you might consider sleeping with me).
There is (so much) more to come. Hope you will be patient... I actually do have quite a bit more to say - like I hate this new format.
Watch the sky.

Love, Jon

So where have you all been this past week? I was worried about you guys.
Anyway...
Just stopped by tonight (Tues PST) to say that everything seems to be all right, but it has been a very strange 10 days or so (in an upish-downish-upish-downish kind of way).
Pretty tired at the moment, and feeling kind of dumb and dull. I hope to get a REAL blog up (and some blog-reading and comments) sometime tomorrow, and fill everyone in as best I can.
Thanks for all the PMs and comments - see you then...

Oh... and heard this earlier today, and for the first time in well over a year, I felt like getting up and...
