Not Just Maybe
Posted: 05/01/07
When I returned to blogging this past January I started with an essay titled "Maybe I'm Back." It was meant to provide wiggle room in case I found blogging wasn't interesting any more. But with the technical difficulties that have haunted my web site the past three weeks, I've changed my tune. It isn't about maybe; it's about definitely.

I'm still not sure I want to blog every day, but I know I don't like not being able to blog at all. This is what the past three weeks has taught me. I want the option of writing in the public domain even if I don’t take advantage of it daily.

While my web site was struggling, I found I felt more and more disconnected, even though I write primarily for myself and not for the review of others. At the same time, I like that others out there come to my web site and read my musings. I don't know who you are but I thank you for your attention.

That said, my web site has been upgraded to allow for photos that might enhance my words. So look for this feature starting tomorrow. Especially if you like peanut butter.
