Ten posts in a 9-month stretch does not a good blog make. It barely constitutes the life-signs of a blog, let alone a functioning one. But, then, who blogs anymore. In an attempt to stay relevant, my friend Matt Ward, has resorted to Twittering with the help of his iPhone. We should all be so lucky to live in 2008. I feel frozen in 2004 with my Blogger blog, here. And, just what are people writing about these days? The sheer volume of posts has certainly dropped?
I suppose I just continue writing about the news of the day, what's happening, what I'm reading, etc.
Planning on looking for a series of posts over the next few days. Of course, don't hold your breath.
The biggest news is…we bought a house!

enjoy all my typos, too!
Wow. You make me sound so... desperate. I still have every intention of getting back to long-form blogging, but Twitter makes it easier for me to post the quick stuff that I was trying to do more of anyway. This whole personal blogging thing does seem to be winding down, but I do find chronicling my life useful, if for no other reason than to augment my memory...
I misused "resorted" when speaking of Ward's twittering. I was being earnest about your using the "latest and greatest" when it comes to personal chronicling. In fact, it seems that more and more people just want a tidbit rather than a diatribe or an essay.
As for writing for yourself. Well played, old man. They say, the more that we recall a particular memory, over and over, they stick with us longer...obviously.
I guess that's why I have flashes of memory about a particular event but no details remain.
I have certainly slowed down my blogging from the time I shot out of the gate back in 2004 or there abouts. Some of my musings made me a marked man of Okie Fundies. I guess I've squandered on fifteen minutes of fame on angry men in suits.
And now so few visitors. Maybe I should write something that will really piss people off...get the readership up and going again.
See you in a few weeks at the Vickrey shin-digity. --tim in OK
