changes

It is the New Year, time for reflection, resolution, revival. I could go on with the "r" words, reason, ruffled, rational… well. You get the idea. I want to get back in touch with words in this blog, and am thinking of stealing the word a day practice that my friend Seliot seems to have abandoned. I've long been addicted to A Word A Day and I can try using them to keep a bit of blogging practice going. There are enough words for both of us. And the rest of you, too!

But tonight's blog entry is about changes. I've given up the Horror writing so many of you have watched me play with. Not because I don't still enjoy playing, but because it wasn't about writing anymore. Many other fine objectives, but the people who I'd enjoyed no longer wanted to have fun with it…it became too serious. So I vacated. I'll move the stories to the website soon, and we can all laugh at Megg's antics. She worried me sometimes anyway.

And look! No more pink! I am not crazy about this color scheme either, but the pepto bismol tones were long overdue for remodeling. The website is next… I don't even have anything I've written in this century posted there.

But tonight I'm in the mountains of Colorado, and I'm using dial up. I don't have the patience for web work on dial up. I know, I'm terribly spoiled. A deal I couldn't refuse. We got ten inches of new snow last night, and clear blue rocky mountain skies this afternoon. Very nice for skiing… tomorrow I hope to actually put some on. Knees, you know.

They tell me it was in the eighties in Houston. It won't be hard to go home.

I've several notes I've not transcribed into this blog that belong here, things from workshops and teleconferences I'd like to share, even some pretty cool photos. I don't think humility is a word of the day.

I'll be adding more links soon, so drop me a note if you want to be included. And for those of you who've faithfully linked to me, thank you. I'll try harder to earn the honor.
