Well, I wasn't expecting visitors yet.  I have a lot of cleanup and reconfiguration to do.  If anyone has been here, stick around.  I will get this to look decent again.  Some things have changed, and I may be a bit rusty.  Ok, I am a bit rusty.  I also plan to make more out of this.  It will be alright.  It is ok, the column is the important part.

All the times I tried to return and didn't.  This time I really am.  I am a bit nervous but, it is time and I am feel I am needed.  Besides, the writers bug has recently taken its hold on me again.  I have been rebuilding the site and looking at things and it is embarrassing that I did attempt a return but then  just fell silent.  I guess with all the noise in social (amusing term...really it is) media I figured I wouldn't matter.  But I used to have a following before that became big. I didn...

I realize this may look like a blog and the temptation may be great but I still would prefer not to have that moniker if you please.  This is a thoughts page, and I have a column page.  Fair enough?

I have been silent a long time.  With all the voices out there and all the ways people are heard I felt that there was no longer a need for me in this world.  I stayed quiet because with the growth of social media no one reads an old fashioned columnist like me, the Gremlin.  But the time has come.  In the past I was one to poke fun, and though I admit I generally pointed a finger at the right side I didn't spare the left when I found them wanting.  

Many times my friends, if you are indeed st...

There was a highly opnionated guy who called himself the Gremlin.  Though not important, I'll tell you why he's called the Gremlin.  He had rather enjoyed Gremlins from 1984 and was somewhat of a practical joker when much younger than he is now.  So he left a calling card from the Gremlin when he playaed a joke.  As I said, not that this is important.  Gremlin has changed persona somewhat over the years though as the opening page of this site states it always comes back to Gremlin being the p...

Now, I’ve done some work to try and improve this site and once again give a home page to all my old friends.  I realize that face book and the like exist.  I know that.  But I’m not overly fond of those sort of formats.  I’ll link all this to my Facebook page and work on it.---G

     Wow, I must admit I have gotten really wrapped up in other things and did exactly what I said I wouldn’t on here.  I neglected Mad Gremlin.  I notice that it is already getting politicized here on the site and wonder if I should get on to other topics again but for now it is what it is.  The offer is still open for guest writers.  Remember, you have to let me know and show me your stuff.  I’m still the final editor but I would never post someone else’s edited work without theme see...

I just thought a shout was needed.  There is a new Overload, Yet no one is saying anything in the message boards.  Come on gang, let's all come back now.

Ok, so I missed this week too.  I'm not throwing in the towel already...really.   But as you've already read on my other pages here, I've been a little busy.  I'll get back to it, never fear.

Howdy all.  This is to inform you that regretfully, I will not be posting a new column until next week.  I know you were all looking forward to it…all three of you.  But I will be back to normal next week.  Between everything going on and my own exhaustion I just don’t think I’d do it justice.

Yep, I’m late on a column, but in my defense I do have a good reason.  I was bringing Jen and the baby home from the hospital and spent the rest of the day working on thing s for them.  I may not post again till next week but I will see if I can get something in OVERLOAD today or tomorrow.

Well, another day, another Blog…the word sounds almost like a term for a bad sneeze or disturbingly amusing bodily function doesn’t it? J  My little girl is now a day old.  As you may have noticed I’ve been poking around here today altering some things.  I even added a review on the review page.  Now I’m wondering if I should archive those as well.  Something for a later decision I guess.   I still don’t have any takers for guest writing.  But of course not many of my old friends ha...

Well here we are again, another day and another blog entry.  Blog…what a word.  This is not going to be journalizing but rather practice to remind myself to say something and check in.  What I will say is this…no the baby isn’t here yet.  That will be front page news ok gang?

Alas, Overload has risen like the phoenix...finally.  And now I can rest for the night.

Tomorrow is the day that the Mad Gremlin really comes out of hiding.  Wow, I was trying to figure out how long it has been and I really don’t know.  Overload, will finally return.  I’ll officially be back on the net at full power.  Strange feeling, I’m a little nervous about it but it feels good.  Now I really need to get to work and write a column!

It’s time.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way. There’s more than one way to skin a cat. There’s also more than one cliché to get the point across.  Long story short I think I beat the font issue.  But here’s another test:  Does this work?  Looks like! it.  Cool

I've never done a blog before nor have I ever considered myself a blogger in the past.  I know many people would probably call me such from MG of the past but I'm a writer.  MG of the past featured a column, not a blog.  So here's the first thought right?  Besides, this font is boring and I can't change it.

I decided to change some things on the blog page so this is V2.  Yeah I know, it looks the same but it isn't.  Look Close.
