One

Because he's been doing it all freakin' year and for as long as I can remember, Dave Simmer (Deux) gets my nod for best blog of the century. He's the fucking man.

Do it to it, peoples. 

I wish that I could something similar for for my own little corner of Blogosvania. I mean the doing it all the time part, not the best blog part. That's purely subjective, although I'm nearly always right when it comes to these kind of things.

2013 saw a dramatic downturn in blogging activity for me. A turn of the screw that I'm not entirely jake with. There are certainly things I can do about it in 2014. Writing more would be a good start. In fact, I have started writing more. I began a novel and a few short stories. Nothing to write home about (see what I did there?), but it's a start. I will share more once I'm comfortable with my voice. Could take a while, as I'm currently finding it whiny and inane.

It's nearly 5am here and I'm finding myself longing for more whiskey and cured meats.That might be my tagline for 2014. "More whiskey and cured meats".

What do you think?

I've saved you several slices of heaven, dripping in honey glaze and rich enough to make your eyelids flutter. Bring on the bourbon, sir!

Chef - damn that ham sounds tasty.

Savannah - if you like it, it stays.

Maurcheen - sounds like a good plan to me.

Writing a novel and short stories.. a man after my own interests.

No one can hold a candle to Dave2's blog and frequency. I make attempts, only to be shut down by Dave2 (sometimes in a snarky comment).

I've learned that I blog at least 100 times each year. Shocking, I know.

Yeah Dave's prolific blogging is very impressive. And totally buy a "More whiskey and cured meats" t-shirt if such a thing existed. Make it so...
