Extended break

We interrupt the inactivity of this blog to inform you that this blog will likely remain inactive for an extended time. This is due primarily to three things:

1. Work priorities are eating up a larger chunk of my day. (This happens to most of us during the beginning of a school year, so mine is not a unique situation.)

2. A pretty severe case of blog and social media burnout. (This, too, seems to be going around in higher ed circles.)

3. The St. Louis Cardinals made the post-season, which has accounted for some later nights in front of the TV and some mild distraction from my October routine. (This may soon end, however, as the Redbirds are down to the Phillies, 2-1, and if we don’t win tonight then it’s all over until next spring. But until then, #gocards.)

I’m sure I’ll get back to blogging. I’m just not sure when. In the meantime, I encourage you to follow all the dandy higher ed bloggers whose posts are aggregated on BlogHighEd.org.

See you soon, probably.

@hardees delivers

Update, Dec. 21, 2011: I cashed in the coupon for the Thickburger today. It was a decent burger. I still think I would have preferred a biscuit and gravy, which is what I originally ordered but didn’t get. Oh well.

For those of you wondering whether @hardees made good on the promise of delivering a Thickburger coupon, the answer is a resounding yes.

I received my coupon in the mail just a few days after posting about my experience with a Springfield, Mo., Hardee’s several weeks ago. (See Shankman got his steak, I’m getting a Thickburger: a tale of two tweets.)

Here’s photographic evidence.

I’ll let you know how the burger tastes.
