Some kind of blog?<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It’s a blog.<\/strong> By any definition or stretch of the imagination, this is a blog. But it’s not all that coherent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some articles I admit, are not that bad. I personally like The 0% Solution<\/a>, and Petit’s Moon<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But others, you may have noticed, are just kind of spectacularly pointless, or at least, tortuous. (Which doesn’t mean painful, by the way.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then again…”tortuous” plus<\/span> “pointless” can definitely produce a quantum of pain here and there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My God, this entry is turning pointless and tortuous itself, and that, despite me actually having an idea what I wanted it to be about before I started typing. I must be getting really good at not having a point. But here’s the real point: this is just practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to write a blog that’s worth reading. I want to extract the stuff that’s been fermenting in the oak barrel of my mind for the last half century and dole<\/a> it out here and (see what I did) there, but Rome wasn’t built in a day, and as you can see, I got no idea what the hell I’m doing, or what I have to say. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But since I am pretty much 50, and also, pretty much recently unemployed, I feel like I got a little time and so I can use that time writing, to keep the old synapses firing and here we are. To learn, you must do. So I set myself a goal of writing a blog every weekday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So. What the hell is this? It’s a practice blog. You might find something interesting or amusing here, I hope you do; but don’t take any of it too seriously. Until I tell you to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that’s that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh wait, actually please go read Petit’s Moon<\/a>. I do like that one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
