Now maybe I can keep up with her comings and goings, at least more so than what I been able to for the last few years.
Having recently (like a couple days ago) flew the California chicken coupe, she alighted in downtown Connecticut and is cooling her heels at her main squeeze family home. (none of whom I have had the privilege of meeting as yet, but hope to some day.)
So welcome to the blogosphere, Brie.
Having an online journal can be an addictive thing (addictive in a good way) for some writers.. and serve absolutely no purpose at all for others who have better ways to spend their time. There are countless valid reasons to put or not to put slices of one's life "out there" in psyber-space for anyone on the planet with a computer to take a peek at. One either hears the calling.. or not.
I have always thought of creating and maintaining an online journal as a grand and easy way to "stay connected" with friends, family and even others folks whom you will never, ever meet in "real life". I've been at it for over 5 years now.. and when people visit our site and especially when anyone signs on I feel a kind of life affirming connection to them...as though I was writing just to them, all of which is a good thing to feel.
Hopefully Brie will find the time and energy parallel to the great demands of attending graduate school in NYC to keep up her blog.
But as she herself wrote in her notice email, "we'll see"..
My "staying connected" thought reminds me:
Because Patti and my entries are soooo hit-n-miss, sporadic and sometimes going for weeks without posting anything, I highly recommend that anyone finding interest in wanting to be/stay connected to Patti and myself thru our jounalistic "brain drizzles" here, to sign-up your email below. If you do, you will be automatically notified of any and all entries that we post here. Our most recent "sign-me-up"s for our upcoming spring/summer/fall season-blog-fiasco are Sue (welcome back Sue) and cousin Joe (welcome Joe, what a nice surprise!).
soooo.. don't be shy, scroll down and sign-up if you're so inclined. Patti & I can promise you at least a couple of grins once in a while. wothehell!
ok.. it's after 5 o'clock and time for BEER. I'm outa here.
beeeer.. beeeeeerrr...
