Gotta change that!

Yikes! It's been a while since I've posted. And its not like nothing's going on. Mostly I've been living in my own head and coming to grips with wrapping up 30+ years in environmental science and getting ready to go cruising. Okay, we haven't had much in the way of internet connection as we're in the process of moving to a new slip (yay!!) but its the same level of connection we expect to have when we're cruising, so better get used to it. Mostly I think I've been distracted by facebook, which is fun, but may not be so good for me. Talk about a giant time sink. Worst, I spend a couple of hours in front of the computer and have the illusion that I've done something, kept in touch with people, but would have been far more productive had I used that energy to actually *write.* Gotta change that!

I also read that its easier to blog every day or two, than to blog once every week or two. Whether its the habit factor, or the daunting task that recapping - or remembering(!) - two weeks of thoughts, I'm finding that true. Gotta change that also!

A decision ...

...that seems minor, but may have more implications. On the one hand, I really like getting responses about the kind of stuff I write here, and it really helps me organize my thinking. On the ohter hand, I'm not sure I want to share ALL my hopes and fears with all my online and IRL friends. And on the other other hand, I want to be transparent to my closest friends, the ones I know I can trust with my heart. On the ohter other other hand, I know we're going to want to keep a blog when we go cruising.

I'm running out of hands ... so I've started another blog, http://danandjaye.blogspot.com/ , for our cruising adventures, and am keeping this one for my more introspective stuff. Now between these 2 blogspot blogs (both called Kumatage!) and Life Afloat (the one I write for the Annapolis Capital) I wonder if I'll confuse myself???
