Yes, it has been a long time since I’ve posted. But there is a good reason for it. I have been on hiatus. Much like 30 Rock, I have gone underground to get ready for the Autumn and Winter months. What’s that? What have I been doing? Well, if you must know, here is the list of things that I have been doing since July:

1) Girding my loins for the upcoming election. I am still thinking of writing in Pat Paulsen.
2) Traveling the globe spreading goodwill for America. I visited Thailand (where the Thai food is just outstanding), Mykonos (where the Mykonosian food is delicious), Kabul (where I did not really belong) and Amsterdam (where the brownies were delicious and made me feel somewhat strange).
3) Selling off the rest of my Worldcom and Enron stock. What? That was years ago? No wonder I haven’t seen a dividend.
4) Working on my new CD, “Bret Britland Sings Cabaret.” I managed to get Dearie Blossom to help me out. I also managed to get Mayim Bialik (TV’s “Blossom”) to sit in on a couple of songs. Expect this to come out in January or May.
5) Purchasing everything I need when I go to London in a couple of weeks. So far, I have bought: Hawaiian shirts (I hear the weather is delightful), sunscreen, ketchup (for the chips) and some Dramamine for the flight.

Speaking of which, I got a sweetheart deal on a wholesale plane fare. I will be leaving Redding, CA and flying to Los Angeles. From there, I will fly to Mumbai on Air India. After Mumbai, I will take Emirates to Dubai, then from Dubai to JFK. After that, I will go from JFK to Dublin on Aer Linguist, from Dublin to Manchester on bmi. From Manchester, I will board a train that will first take me Swansea, Wales. I will then take a bus to Cardiff, where I will board another train to Paddington Station (like the bear). I will then take a 32-hour nap at the Comfort Inn at Notting Hill Gate. Then I will be refreshed.

I managed to get this sweetheart deal for only $12,480. I am PSYCHED!
