No promises
Just looked over some of my blog archives. Dang do I feel guilty about my lack of posting. Not that anybody reads this (well, hopefully I still have the Faithful Four TM), but I was hoping that a this would provide a more convenient method of keeping a journal.
I am going to try the “three things” method again along with something I regularly enter in my paper journal: the weather.
1) A blog I read regularly is The Iceland Weather Report. Sounds innocuous enough doesn’t it. It is a nearly daily blog of what’s going on in Iceland (of which I am obsessed) and the weather for that day.
2) The whole Magazine Thing is hard. Between all our other responsibilities, this is getting squeezed out. Frankly I am pretty burnt out on it. This weekend I’m going camping with Mike or alone and am looking forward to the relaxation. I need it.
3) I recently aquired a really cool book at my friendly neighborhood used bookseller. It is simply called Sailing Ships and is very detailed and richly illustrated. It spans ships from the medieval Cog (the northern version being really just an improved longship) to the training ships of the early 20th century.
I also found parts two and three of Mervyn Peake’s Gormenghast Triology, UK edition paperbacks. I love finding treasures at the used bookstore, usually I just find junk.
Gray and 60 as I drove to work today. Pretty good chance of rain. High in the low 70s.
This one of the Faithful Four is still here. Don’t fret.
You know, if this whole blogging thing puts pressure on you, it may be time to stop doing it. Just a thought. YMMV.
Life is full of enough things that cause us guilt. No need to add one more! Ya know?
Hugs.
Another of the Faithful Four checking in – you deserve this weekend away, know you travel with my prayers.
The blog is not something I stress about really. The magazine on the other hand, I need a break from.
Thanks for the sympathy.
Ohh cool, Gormenghast! I saw the mini-series several years ago and have wanted to get hte books to plow through. Alas, they will have to wait for at least another year or so.
Iceland huh? Do you like Bjork’s music? I really have enjoyed her in the past. I also really enjoyed “Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations” show on the travel channel. The one where he goes to Iceland is great fun.

Another of the Faithful Four echoing what they said.
I love seeing pictures of sailing ships: magnificent things.
And prayers for the magazine stresses.
I’m not one of the faithful four, but I read this anyway. Thanks for the link.
