TMI?

Sorry about the blog silence. Busy with work - and when I haven't been writing angry crank letters to newspaper editors, I've been doing last-minute preparation for my big summer trip. I'm calling it Eugene World Tour 2009. Look for it soon.

I've been thinking about how much personal information to put out on this blog. I know getting your identity stolen is absolutely terrible - a nightmare I don't want to go through. But I tend to be of the opinion that if someone wanted to steal my identity, it'd be a lot easier to just steal my phone bill than to dig through my blog.

The other issue would be if someday I'm in a car accident or something, then someone sues me claiming me that I'm dangerous. Then they dig up old blog post where I talk about beating someone to death for stealing my popsicle and use that in court against me.

Sigh. This blog could be more trouble than it's worth.

That being said, I'm going to be EXTREMELY careful about what kind of personal information I put on the blog from now on.

So a few weeks ago, my doctor is checking my hernia-

    Relax.  Just pretend I'm the IRS
    guy.

    Doc?  Considering where your hands
    are, I'm not really in the best
    position to appreciate your humor
    right now.  

              DOC
    You're a writer!  You can write me
    new material!  

              ME
    (COUGH)

True story. Hope it's useful.
