Quote of the Week

You may not have noticed but, back in the old format, I had a quote at the very bottom of the page that I'd update now and again. I've moved the quote over to the left side of the page in an effort to make it easier to find, but I wonder if people even notice it. I will try to update it weekly. If you missed the first quote last week, well, too bad so sad.

I wanted to feature this week's quote because I enjoy all things critical of the current administration:

"The very fundamental issue is, they don't know where the hell they're going . . . . So rather than go over there, develop an ulcer and eventually leave, I said, 'No, thanks.'" - retired Marine General John J. "Jack" Sheehan, a former top NATO commander who was among those rejecting consideration by the Bush Administration for the job of "War Czar."

You can read more about it in the Washington Post.

Welcome home!

Welcome to the reborn Colonial Jumbo. In reimagining this blog, I decided to abandon the old name (to make my URL match again) and colors and try something a little different. Along with the new look come some promises that I will do my very best to keep:

1) a biweekly post on politics, which will alternate with...
2) a biweekly post on the arts and entertainment;
3) no more than 48 hours without a post of some kind (sometimes just a link to something interesting); and
4) no more than 5 days between substantive posts.

Fair? I hope so. Enjoy.

The first post of the new era awaits you below....

Baby, give me one more chance?

I’m sorry for being such a sucky blogger. I have a ton of excuses, but would rather not bore you with any of them. I understand that you want more and hopefully we can reach an arrangement.

With that in mind, I’m announcing a re-launch of the blog. On Monday April 2^nd (I was going to make it April 1^st, but I didn’t want anyone to think this was a gag of sorts) The TerenZone will finish its slow burn into a pile of ashes and will be reborn, phoenix-style. Instead of a spectacularly-written-but-otherwise-run-of-the-mill blog, my new creation will be hipper, have weekly and monthly features, and will wow and delight you in ways you never imagined you could be wowed and delighted.

So give me one more chance? Tune in at noon on Monday, April 2^nd, and check it out.
