Good lord.
Yes, I've been through several incredibly powerful emotional wringers these last couple of months.
But I think I'm finally emerging better for it. Or, at least, I am shooting downhill.
Won't know for sure of course 'til the election's over and done with. The last few months have been one weekend after another of me telling myself "next weekend everything will go back to normal", except it never does, it just gets more intense, more complex, more involved, more weird, and then the work does too.
I think I am OK with that. I don't exactly *like* constant intensity, but I can navigate it well enough, mostly.
Gonna try and keep up with this blog here better than I have been of late, but what can I tell ya? I've kinda migrated someplace else where people I actually *know* actually *read* and *comment* and *post*, and then *I* kinda post comments to them, and just about everyone on my "mutual list" is no more than one step removed from someone I know IRL, including the "peripherals".
In short, there's a far stronger sense of community there than in here. Yeah -- the blogger interface is still the most elegant I know of, and I love it, but man -- writing for the ether sucks, if you can write for a handful of people who actually read and whom you actually go on to meet from time to time.
I guess I'm keeping this place up and running, then, for the time when I finally finish my All-inclusive Theory of Everything.
