If you are from Minute to Win It, please visit this post or feel free to browse through August and September in the archives.

I apologize for the lack of activity.  I am currently applying to be on a game show that is perfectly suited towards my skills and interests — inane games of skill using household objects.  The show is called Minute to Win It.  In my application, I linked to the blog, but I linked to a specific page rather than a specific post.  So I had to refrain from posting to the blog, lest the page numbering get changed.  Until my brother brilliantly suggested that I could just put a header on my posts directing the game show people to the relevant posts. 

As most of you know, the blog is a fairly consistent source of news and activity, but August and September of 2009 had some highly concentrated activity.  This spring, I have gone to four or five ice cream shops, narrowly missed reclaiming my international Boggle Championship, and visited two carnivals and one amusement park.  I have also hosted a satellite Colinfest event (a perennial party celebrating myself).  I have traveled to New Orleans, San Francisco, Atlanta, Boulder, Colorado, Fredericksburg, Virginia, and London, Ontario.

It has been a busy several months.  I will do my best to catch you all up on some of the more notable events since March.  And if I make it onto Minute to Win It, I will win a large sum of money and then embark on a larger-scale, better-funded amusement park and ice cream tour, donating hundreds of giant stuffed animals to children’s organizations across the country.  Keep your fingers crossed.
