Writers Block.....?

The Gadfly has had a bit of writer’s block it seems. Not due to lack of news or issues that are out there floating around. There’s certainly lots going on – perhaps too much – and maybe that’s even the reason for the block. Too much to write about and just not enough time - could that be it? Here’s a short list of the things crossing the Gadfly’s mind:

•        Bernie Fine and the pass ESPN seems to be getting on not reporting on audiotapes for eight years as well as not reporting to the police.
•        An article in the Rochester paper about the closing of Monroe Developmental Center and the potential impact on the existing waiting list in residential placements for people with developmental disabilities.
•         Continuing stories and news about the Occupy Movement. Pepper Spray, pepper spray.
•        Holiday shopping gone wild. People battling each other over electronics and consumer goods.
•        Rita Corbin, Catholic Worker and artist, killed in a car crash with her 17-year-old grandson.
•        Family, grandfatherhood, baby pictures and general happiness.
•        The economy, the environment, continued discussion on anonymity, leadership and organizational behavior.
•        Jeremy Wallace, a great musician, the blues, rock and roll, spirituality.

There that feels better and I think I may have shaken that block. We’ll see.
