I'm back from hiatus. I told Bill that I noticed a dearth of U2 posts around here, and somebody's got to fix that -- stat!
I know that since January this blog has taken on a more professional aura: we're no longer using monikers; and we're all business with our Wall Street Journals, brief cases, 90s PDAs, and Tall mocha latte decaf frappuccinos.
I'm going to officially ease the tension around here by inviting all of our Thinklings friends and family to take part in Thinklings Chess (I actually never took a sabbatical from that!), and by announcing that my name on this blog is officially Bird. It's sort of an I Am Spock moment for me; it's like an epiphany ...
I Am Bird.
Some of you may wonder what I've been doing the past few months. The truth is I put a lot of things (unlike chess) on hold, and really have had a sort of metamorphosis in my life. (But that's for another day and another post.)
Above all right now, I'd really like to say that I love my Thinklings brothers (they're brothers in the truest, purest form of the word), and I'm glad to be back.
Sure, I may drop off the face of the blogosphere again one day, but for now, I'm here. And once again: I Am Bird.

[Bill looks at the sidebar]
It says "Bird"
Did it ever say Eric? Wha? Wha?
Who's Eric?

Funny thing with that disembodied voice--it doesn't link to Blo, it links back to Bill's blog . . . :)
Welcome back, Bird. :)

Bill, can you change my name on the sidebar to say "Bird" instead of "Eric"? Thanks. ;-)
