Family members visited from afar. Sara and I had another anniversary. I started a post about our family trip to Minnesota entitled 'Land of 10,000 Frozen Lakes' but never posted it. Button turned 2 years old earlier this month and I didn't post about it. Christmas has come & gone and I've remained silent. What's the deal?
Well, the easy answer is lack of a reliable internet connection. Ever since we became smart phone users we have not paid to have home internet. It's so incredibly easy to be able check your email whenever you want, google recipes on the john, or IMDB actors while watching television. Unfortunately, my phone doesn't work well with this blog and I have been unable to post from the palm of my hand. Also, my old laptop did not turn on the last time I took it to the library with the intention of updating you, my blog. But these are just excuses.
I don't know, blog, maybe I've outgrown you. Maybe we've drifted apart. The thrill may indeed be gone. I used to think I was soooo clever with my sarcastic, yet thought-provoking witticisms. I used to be so sure of my writing and I would never have questioned the use of a word like witticism, but now I'm not sure I've properly used that word. Also, let's face it, some posts aren't worth reading. The brash young blogger with thoughts and ideas overflowing from within has apparently been replaced by the tired, working dad who falls asleep after reading only a few pages, and can't seem to find the time or focus to work on his writing at all. The only reason I am able to update you now, blog, is because I am at the mechanic having the Taurus inspected, and am taking advantage of their free WiFi while I wait for them to fail my inspection.
Not the most inspired post,I know, but I felt as if I should try to explain. The New Year is fast approaching and maybe 2014 will be a better year for us. Hopefully I will find time to, not only, update you but also to get back to my writings. (I feel as if my punctuation & grammar might be suffering from texting daily.) So in closing, it's not you, blog, it's me.
