Continuing abject apologies for the lameness of the blog and of TLBC action in general, of late. Your blog grunt and acting Nabob has been once again overwhelmed with other activities. Due to his ordinary absent-mindedness, it is not all that difficult to overwhelm him, even on his best days.
In a series of bold frauds, he has passed from living the life of a mild-mannered graphic artist, to impersonating an elementary school teacher, and this past several weeks has been feverishly re-inventing himself as a hipster artist by wearing black turtlenecks, drinking cappucino and painting large paintings, because as everyone knows, "If it's big enough, it's art". He even flirted with the idea of reducing his total acreage of facial hair by shaving his cheeks and sporting a goatee. This mood passed, however, he recovered his senses and convinced his wife to untie him.
He is still evading authorities and right at this moment is posing as a knowledgeable, professional painter, even bluffing his way into being invited to present a three-day oil painting workshop for a group of unsuspecting students. He hopes, after exhausting the vocabulary of art jargon he picked up on Wikipedia over the last few days, to distract them with travel stories, magic tricks and tap dancing.
TLBC will pick up next week. Stay tuned!
Y'know, Tim --
If we get bored enough from not having interesting posts to read, we might just go out with a friend or two and have a beer and a smoke.
Jest sayin'....

Obviously you should have included "innkeeper of the Prancing Pony, Bree" in your little list of fraudulent antics.
