Dear Readers:
I want to thank those of you who regularly visit this site. I’m not exactly sure why you read these rather diverse dispatches. Some of you are family or friends wanting to keep up with what Lisa and I are doing. Others of you — I suspect — come back from time to time after finding something interesting on the site. And I’m sure that some of you just want a distraction to break up the workday or an evening television watching.
Whatever the reason, all of you regular readers have been forced to wait far too long for updates. (Although I was pleasantly surprised just now to see that I’ve posted 23 times this year . . . often in closely-spaced batches.) “Well, that’s all going to change!” I declare yet again. I have decided to try posting everyday for a month starting on the first of November. This is a bit of a challenge, but I already have half of the month’s post topics sketched out.
I can’t guarantee Shakespeare everyday. And some days might only be photographs.
And I can’t promise you that everything will interest you. But with one post a day, the chances are better, right?
That brings me to back to my original observation: I don’t know why you’re visiting. I have a large and diverse set of interests I plan to write about.
- Photography
- Diabetes
- Australia
- Art
- History
- Modernity and post-modernity
- Cycling, hiking, running, swimming, etc.
- Travel
- National Parks
I’m sure there will be some techy things, too. But I can’t think of something I’ve done recently that I can actually write about yet. For those of you who want that kind of thing, stay tuned; they’ll show up eventually. (And feel free to check out my Delicious bookmarks to see some of the geeky things I might need to refer to again. Read between the lines if you want; it’s not that exciting.)
See you here again soon!
