After a five month hiatus I'm back to blogging. So much has changed. It's surprising it's taken me so long to get back to this. I've had this blog in one way or another for over six years. I first hosted it on my own website and then moved over to typepad.
Over the years the emphasis has changed as my interests have. There was a huge knitting and crafting period while I was involved with my friend Michael with MenKnit.net (now sadly shuttered). Then there were the political campaigns we were involved in. Then last year I switched over to Facebook and that's taken a lot of my posting time. I do post there all the time but I was missing the blog. I miss the way in which a blog serves as a record. It may not have the instantaneous effect of Facebook but it does have a more stationary element that one can revisit. My interest remain mostly the same. I'm doing more poetry, I'm still doing a lot of photography. I'm still interested in architecture and sculpture. I'm still loving sketching and watercolor. I do occasional gardening but not as much as I'd like.
Sadly for those not connected to facebook, we lost our beloved pooch Roofus this Winter. It was without doubt one of the saddest periods of my life. He made me more human. I know that I'm still dealing with his loss in many ways. Today we would've celebrated his birthday. The year after a death is in many ways a year without the annual celebrations of their life.
But for now I'm back and hope to post more here. Especially photographs from adventures and travels. If you're still connected to this blog enough to have read this, please let me know what you think.
The new photo on the blogbar is from a beautiful building I saw in Denver, Colorado last month. I was in town for the AWP conference. Had a great time and met a lot of wonderful people.
