The Beginning

Blogging started for me as a venue for writing a memoir, of sorts. I’ve spent more time lately on other things, but the memoir is still important to me. So, here is how it starts.

Or, Tripper in the Herb Garden

Well, I’m starting to peek my head out from under my recent obsession with the easy accomplishments and bright colors of the world of Azeroth, and get back to the other parts of my life. I’ll probably be fine now for a few months.

Except that I’ve had the flu, so even though I’ve been up to doing some reading, I haven’t done a lot of writing yet. In the meantime, I highly recommend that you visit McSweeney’s. It’s a wonderful compilation of mostly clever stuff written by — well, I have no idea who writes all of it, but it’s darn funny , anyway.

You might start with Catcher In The Retirement Home, in keeping with the recent theme of aging. This is a sort of sequel to Catcher in the Rye, in which Mr. Caulfield finds himself an elderly man, and not that much changed, really.

Addiction

So, it’s been a while since my last post.  I won’t apologize, because I hate it when people do that.

There are several reasons, but the real main reason is that I have been in a World of Warcraft addiction phase.
