Thirty-One Months Later …

I started this blog in 2005, posted a couple of items, and haven’t returned since – as if I’ve had nothing to say for thirty-one months. Of course, a lot has happened since then, so I have plenty of material. So, why the long absence? I think that it was probably due to my uneasiness with the concept of a personal blog, and my unwillingness to commit to all that participating in this type of activity entails. I find that putting one’s thoughts out there for all to see, even if never actually seen, is a difficult concept to embrace.

The obvious concerns held me back:

• Who will read my entries?
• Will anyone become upset with my posts?
• How much information should I divulge?
• Who would care?
  

It was that last concern that has brought me back. Since I can assume that no one cares, I am free to post to my blog in virtually assured anonymity. Problem solved.
