I'd like to apologize to my readers. I've been fairly quiet the past few days and have a hunch that may carry over for a few more, unfortunately. I'm honestly mentally exhausted after completing my four new books, and while I'm trying to spread word and market the material, I'm having a difficult time doing so. Hopefully I feel re-energized on that front before long here. Also, I've felt myself drifting apart from some people whom mean a great deal to me - one person in particular - and after a long talk, we decided to regress things this past weekend.

Then lastly, my 13-year-old dog nearly collapsed during a walk this morning and has an appointment for tomorrow. So, I'm not sure what the deal is, but given her age, I'm a bit worried.

One major issue I think the show's had to this point is a lack of direction. It's been unable to decide whether it wants to be a comedy show with serious conversation sprinkled in or a serious show with comedy sprinkled in. It's almost as if the show's writers want to give The Nightly Show a Real Time with Bill Maher feel. The problem with that idea or format is the fact Real Time is an hour lon...
