Quick hits...

How can we even take these types of people and their hyperbolic rhetoric seriously?

Local sports hero DMac keeping it classy.

Hillcrest's newest place to get late night, quick eats.  Two thumbs up from yours truly!

Now, for your musical enjoyment:

Well, I'm back...

HillcrestBlog began in the very early days of January, 2009.  After a couple of great months I decided to take a sabbatical from blogging, picking back up in September of 2009.  But that didn't last too long and I last posted in November of 2009.  Now, eight months later, I'm going to give it another shot.  Not quite sure what form this blog will take now, as I try to steer away from overtly political commentary.  I guess I shouldn't try to shoehorn myself and just accept the fact that HillcrestBlog really isn't a theme blog -- I'm not promoting a business or a political viewpoint or supporting a specific sports team, etc. -- and really is just a personal blog on which I can just say and post what sorts of things are going on in my life, with my family, and in my neighborhood.  In that vein, I'm going to start the third version of this blog with this very simple post and try to get it looking good with all the new bells and whistles available on the Blogger platform.
