I have not read all 530 blog posts I created over many years, but I did read some, and I have come to the conclusion that I should return to blog on this site, because the archive of these posts gave me a walk down memory lane, which was overall a real pleasure.

No one subscribes to a random blog these days. So what.

I have no social media anymore. So what.

Can I tell you something astonishing?

God told me something. I don’t know what to make of it. He told me to write a book a year every year for the next 20 years. 

He said nothing about readers. He said nothing about publication. He said nothing about content.

I wish I had some better ideas for what to write about. One hope: that beyond the many words I write in a journal day after day (two journals, to be more precise—the difference in purpose of those journals is unclear to me), writing something I publish on the web several times a week, and reading some of the other 530 posts I’ve made in the past, should surely give me a few ideas for what to write a book about.

Somehow I’d forgotten how much I had written and posted on this blog going back nearly a decade.  In case you, too, my faithful readers, had forgotten, check out my archives. 

All I can say is, wow.  Just.  Wow.

And now it’s been a nearly five years since I last added anything to this completely arbitrary collection of musings, linked articles, images, videos and such. 

Going forward, I have no plan to turn this into a carefully organized, thematically coherent, anything… I’m just going to post things and put them out there and see what happens.  But if I do ever manage to write something worth sharing with a wider audience, I fully intend to post it to Medium.

Someday I might create a website, because as I think about it, I’ve produced a lot of stuff that might be of some use to someone in the world somewhere.

But for now, this is merely an announcement of my return.

For anyone who cares, entries will be numbered by the year.entry.  That is, 18.1 means, first entry of 2018.

Completely unrelated, here’s a video I watched this morning.  Since we had a snow day today, and since we’re starting Dante in LIT 227, I gave this as an assignment for Monday.

I hope we all do understand that all this crap I write is unproofed first draft crap, written fast and furious when I have a few moments from all the other crap I gotta do.  We do understand that.  Don’t we?
