A quick sign of life from me, the semi-absent blog owner: after another month of slacking (because I was too busy doing other stuff), I now resolve — nay, promise! — to get back to regular blogging.<\/p>\n
Some astute readers may have noticed that I stopped posting my Daily Diigo bookmarks.\u00a0 I’ll re-institute them.<\/p>\n
And I will try to stop obsessing about how I’m doing everything wrong …and instead just do it.<\/p>\n
Heck, at least when I<\/strong><\/em> “just do it,” I’m<\/strong><\/em> not melting down the entire continent’s friggin’ economy.\u00a0 That’s some small comfort, but you take it wherever you can get it, these days.<\/p>\n I’ve been sick to my stomach over the various elections and political events — whether the American election (in which I can vote as an absentee voter; although, being registered in Massachusetts, my vote for Obama doesn’t matter as much as I’d like it to), or the Canadian federal election (I’m also a Canadian citizen, so I get to vote here, but people?, all I can say is “ick” to what I’m looking at on this ballot), or the Victoria municipal election (double, triple, quadruple ick!<\/strong><\/em>), or now the hugely ICK!<\/strong> <\/em>revelations bubbling forth from the sleaze that ran (runs?) Wall Street.\u00a0 All of that adds to smaller, more personal demons and phobias.<\/p>\n But, as they say, Was tun?<\/a> Keep going.\u00a0 Just keep going.<\/p>\n Sometimes it takes just a small spark (like listening to an interesting speaker<\/a> at a UDI Victoria<\/a> luncheon today).\u00a0 Just keep going.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A quick sign of life from me, the semi-absent blog owner: after another month of slacking (because I was too busy doing other stuff), I now resolve — nay, promise! — to get back to regular blogging.
