There Once Was A Man From Nantucket

Sometimes when you are rambling and ambling down the highways and byways of life you reach a point at which you have to make some choices about where you focus your time.

Those of you who have been walking with me for a while know I have been thinking about shutting this place down and that I haven't quite done it.

Well, I am still thinking about it and still not willing to do so because I still like it here and because it still serves as a good way to send traffic to my primary blog.

So expect to see me poke my head in here from time to time and keep you updated as to what is happening elsewhere and maybe from time to time you'll get a new post too.

Back Into The Breach We Go

I know that you don't see me around here as often as you once did and that it might feel a bit like I have abandoned the ship, well that is not entirely true.

I don't take this old lug out on the river as much as I once did but I still make a point to get her out every so often, probably more than you know.

She is pretty reliable and has some guts to go with the experience that the newer ones might not have and that is worth something. You can't replace experience with anything other than experience.

A Path Only I Can See

There are days when I know I am traveling along a path only I can see. Don't care if it looks strange to others or if they wonder why I am zigging while they zag.\

I am not one of the sheeple who does as others because I fear looking foolish.Hell I have looked like a fool and even acted the part more than once.

It happens.

It is ok because I can only dance to the beat of the drums I hear. At night when the lights go out I have to be able to go to sleep knowing what I did and how I did it.

And I have to be able to feel good about that.

Most of the time I do. Most of the time I shut my eyes knowing that I did my best and even if I fell short I am good with it. Every now and then there are moments where I wonder if I could done things differently.

I don't particularly like those but they are a part of life and I defy people to say it never happens to them.

And now links to posts I wrote once upon a time. Some of these keep showing up in my stats so I wonder if they are linked somewhere and I just haven't found them.

Might revisit and review them at some point or not.
