The Sporting Life

Atticus

He's one of my favorite literary characters. He's Southern. He's single (OK, a widower). He's mild-mannered and even-tempered.

So Ifigured it would be a good name for a new blog.

Almost ready

I'm almost ready to begin the new blog.

I'll be e-mailing those of you who were on my blogroll as well as the five or six other people I know who read The Sporting Life. If, however, you don't receive an e-mail from me and wish to know where to find me now, e-mail me.

Scratch that

I think I'm going to stop posting here at The Sporting Life and begin a new blog.

From the start, I meant for this spot on the Web to be more of a journal of thoughts and observations of someone who happens to spend a lot of time watching sports. As a result of that fact, along with the name I chose, I got labeled a "sports blogger." That was never my intention. I even somehow got picked up by SI on Campus and collegefootballnews.com as an "Auburn sports blogger."

So I'm going to start anew. The archives here will remain, but I'm pretty certain this will be my last posting at The Sporting Life. Stay tuned.

Changes afoot

I've decided to follow my friend Ben's lead and split my content into two blogs. This one will remain devoted to sports — focusing primarily on Auburn athletics. I hope to have the other, personal one up and running before the end of Presidents Day weekend.

Neglect

I realize it's been a while since I posted any new content. I'll be back on track later this week, for those five or six of you who visit.

It's been one (month) since you looked at me ...

A couple of people have chastised me for going so long without posting, and today someone else pointed out that it's been a month.

My apologies to the five of you who read this blog. I promise to put something online soon. Maybe tonight.
