My savvy readers may notice that I have renamed my blog. They will then notice that this name change was not accompanied by any new material. But before you cry out, "but Carlin! Even Rihana did better than that when she repackaged her Good Girl Gone Bad album! She added a few new tracks!" I would like to stop you there. I am not here to turn the syllables of the word "umbrella" into a hit single that would create such deep joy in this Youtube commenter.

Instead, I am here to explain the logic behind changing the name of my blog. Unfortunately, my basketball season ended roughly 10,000 years ago, and so I don't have an official purpose (I use the term "official" loosely, and also the term "purpose"). So "Pine Rider Exclusive" would be a difficult title to explain outside of the world of sports, unless this were a blog about my misadventures as a Greenpeace activist. But alas, it is just about my life, making me about as original as the next guy in the "blogosphere". By the way, I am having trouble bridging the gap between the word "blogosphere" and the word "atmosphere" on which it is based. The atmosphere produces rain. The blogosphere produces people complaining about their jobs and describing everything they did on their camping trip to Lake Mosquito. I honestly don't see the connection. However, this word is in the dictionary (but then again, so is the word "gaydar").
So, consider the name change a reboot of Pine Rider, and hopefully one that I will update more often.
