Mental House Cleaning
I have not posted in a while, mainly due to the fact that most events that may warrant a blog post later seem routine to me. I get myself geared up about the latest/greatest event only later during proofreading I realize that I have written on the exact same topic previously.
Most of the events revolve around hockey, either the Canes or the Fury. I assume you all have grown tired of that, so I try to limit hockey posts to truly historic occurrences (Stanley Cup wins or when I score a goal, which happened in my last game by the way).
Other events that begin with a bang but end with whimper due to other factors. The most notable factor is some event that I have photographed, however I have not uploaded said pictures to Flickr. Therefore, I postpone the post involving that event until the pictures are available, but after the pictures are available I rarely return to document that event.
I have even put on the brakes when talking about Myra Grace. Mainly because talking about my daughter is a slippery slope. I can see myself giving weekly updates in no time. Next thing you know I have to dedicate this blog to her. So I will limit those posts to monumental events such as first words or first steps. Neither of which have happened yet.
The other posts that start off as good ideas in my head but rarely make it to COALM are trendy, popular news stories. I may comment on a story that strikes up debate, but I do not want to get caught up in posting a link to a story, albeit an interesting story, which gets forgotten within the week.
I have not given up on posting. Currently I'm in a bit of a rut with COALM, which has happened a before. I usually bounce back from these minor setbacks. Be patient.
