I’m back. Here, I mean. What happened? I just got tired. And I was sad about my writing. When I’m sad and tired, I don’t have extra energy. This is what this is. Extra energy. A way for me to exercise writing in a different way.
What does “back” mean? Coming here weekly. Attempting not to bore. Opening up a bit to what’s inside. It also means some chores: selecting what to write, writing it, playing with photos and links, if I want to deepen the entry.
At first I blogged because I was supposed to: marketing. Then it became another and quicker and more fun way to express. Then I ran out of steam and felt empty. So I stopped writing here. Kept on with fiction, but stopped here. Now I have a second wind. Let’s see where we go……………

Hi, J………and thanks…..
Your blog made me sad. I’ve just picked up Through a Glass Darkly for the third time. The first time I read it, back in 1987, I was a senior in high school. I read it again about 10 years ago. I am enjoying it just as much now and am amazed at how much I remember of this story. This time, I’m listening to the audio book and am finding myself far more engrossed in the story than ever. What a great film this would make!
This book has been, for nearly 30 years, one of my favorite novels that I fully expect to read several more times over the coming years.
I wish you and your family well and thank you for giving me such a beloved treasure.
