You know you’re overdue for a blog posting when you can’t even remember what the proper web-links are to begin the process, let alone your username and password.
Such a painfully long time was required to bring to fruition those simplest of actions that, in my mind, I descended to bandy about the pros and cons of abandoning the attempt altogether – at least temporarily, feeling perhaps that another day might bring a sharper mind more enduring of adversity, more capable of attacking once again, with renewed vigor and determination, all the real and imagined mysteries and perplexities of navigating the administrative labyrinth that is blog posting.
Concluding, however, that such a later attempt will not be easier than one such attempt today, and that in fact the added elapsed time would rust even more thoroughly to immobility whatever synapses must be activated to engage that process — yes, having concluded that, I have decided to persevere and to re-acquaint myself with this: the blog.
So here I am. Nearly a month has passed since I last posted. There is a kind of renaissance occurring here: all the buttons are unfamiliar and even the ordinary content of my posts, whatever they were, seem oddly shrouded both in mists of time and in a collection of Burl Ives melodies that have usurped a little ganglion of neurons in some indeterminate region of my brain.
Yes, here I am, and this is the blogosphere: brave new world that has such creatures on it. Shall there be a new style? A new habit or a new drug to feed an old one, and has the world changed at all? Does the earth still revolve around the sun?
There: the ice is broken, the die is cast and, at this late hour I can think of no more cliches to fasten to my bundle! This shall be continued later…
