I'm Back - No Foolin'!


So, I took some time off from blogging. Not exactly sure why. Maybe because I felt pressured (by my own self) to come up with something clever and/or interesting to post about all the time? Maybe because I was trying to do Project 365 and I just didn't have anything interesting to photograph every single day? Okay. Both.

Yes, I am the queen of starting all kinds of things, losing interest and leaving them in the dust. ADD? Lazy? Committmentphobic? All of the above? Who knows for sure, but I've decided to resume blogging. I am making no guarantees about how frequently I'll post or whether you'll actually find my posts interesting. But, in the immortal words of Jack Nicholson in The Shining.

I'm Ba-ack!

P.S. I was going to change the photo in my blog header but since we do keep getting snow, granted not as much as in the photo, I'm going to leave it up a little longer. When Sprinter actually starts leaning more towards Spring watch for a newer photo. Hee hee

What Does That Mean?

So, my friend Marty and I were discussing the fact that we weren't exactly sure what the name of the new James Bond movie means. Quantum of Solace??? So, I asked my good friend Merriam Webster for a little assistance.

quan•tum
Pronunciation:
\kwän-təm\
Function: noun
1 a: QUANTITY , AMOUNT b: PORTION , PART c: gross quantity : BULK

solace
Function: noun
1 : alleviation of grief or anxiety 2 : a source of relief or consolation

So, according to Mirriam (we're tight) Quantum of Solace could mean -
Portion of Relief
Quantity of Consolation
Amount of Anxiety Relief

Since I haven't seen the movie, yet, I'm thinking that James is going to exact revenge on some bad dude as a way to have a portion of his grief alleviated. I know that I personally enjoy when I can exact some revenge. Mine usually occurs in my day dreams though because I don't have a way cool car or "mad skills" like my other BFF, James.
