It should be easier than it is keeping up with this thing. I think I have self-esteem issues complicated by cultural with-itness issues; that is, I often don't think people are interested in what I'm thinking, or else I have been thinking a thing so long that it doesn't occur to me other people don't already think it, too.
But blogs aren't necessarily created for the sake of others...
For those of you who do read when I post, I recommend checking out RSS feeds. Some e-mail accounts, like sbc/yahoo, have built-in RSS capability, but otherwise you'll probably need to google it to find the software. The basic idea is that you get a notice when I post things, so instead of checking every six months you can just go about your life and be notified when I actually write something.
The two biggest events of recent note are (1) we moved and (2) I've become the poetry editor for a start-up literary review. As to the first, it was a great idea. We disliked Highwood within weeks of moving in, whereas we still love Evanston after a month. Our new place also suits our personalities better, if that makes sense. It's probably smaller, but there's a hallway that angles around one of the bedrooms to the dining room and kitchen, which at least creates the illusion of great space--now it is possible to think, "oh, I left my beer all the way in the kitchen."
We kept our cats in carriers during the move, setting them on the coffee table facing the door so they could see us coming and going. I don't know for whom it was more traumatic: A was alright, but P just lay there panting and with a racing heartbeat. They are fine now, and trailing clouds of furry wherever they go.
