I wonder if I can revive this blog? Facebook has bewitched me with it's many memes and silly things to send people -- as well as the handy page that updates me about my friends without actually having to click to different pages. But it has made me lazy. Communication has been truncated to a comment, a status, at best a note. Lord keep me from Twitter and its evil 140 characters. It's bad enough that I don't read as I used to and paper letters are a thing of the past. Now even Facebook is encouraging me not to think very deeply.
So I should come back here. I should let my thoughts stray on more meaningful subjects and dig deeper. That's hard to do when you're sharing a computer, but I should. I miss my mind sometimes. I know I used to have one, a very smart one at that. I am better than Oprah during PBS pledge week (or is it a full quarter now? Seems like it.).
So I will think. I invite anyone else who feels Facebook has drained them to try it again. Facebook is great, but we can have other discussions, right?

Welcome to my odditorium, a collection of curiosities made up of snippets about my life and occasional machinations on deeper subjects.

Amen and amen! I have missed your blog. As you can see, I keep checking it hoping that I will find a post -- and here it is. My thoughts don't run nearly as deeply as yours a good part of the time, but I enjoy seeing yours & the others.
Welcome back!

hopes spring eternal. I even still check Lately, No Donkeys and I routinely check yours on my circle of surfing each night. Looking forward to the next post.
I check this page regularly (when not on vacation), and miss the entries here, as well as on the pages of several friends, one of which no longer works but I have not had the heart to remove from my "group" of blogs that open togheter.
Please never stop.
I'm not drained by facebook, although I don't think I have fully participated in the typical manner. I know the memes and goofy gifts are not unique to facebook but they seem to have assumed an unacceptable prominence (at least in my friends circles). It's a nice way to get back in touch with people, but I'm already growing bored of it.
But it's hard to find time to revive my own blog.
