New Year
How will the blog survive?
Wow. It’s been more than a year since I posted. What a year it was…
The joy and pain of this year confound me: I finished law school. My mother got sick with cancer. I have a new baby boy. I changed careers. My mother fought the cancer. I passed the bar exam. Hurricane Ike pummeled my hometown nearly senseless. I changed careers back again. My mother lost her fight with cancer. I named my newborn son after my mom’s father – he will never get to know either of them.
In between all that, the blog got lost. The correct but unfortunate outcome of a busy life.
Now, I too find myself lost in the new year. 2008 left my ship off course – there was simply no time to mind the rudder.
But, I’m still here. So is this blog.
Plans for 2009:
More entries in the Lost Places Index,
More Texacurean entries,
More movie reviews,
More bad haiku/senryu,
Chronicles of the search for The Best Crab Cake in The World (BCCITW),
And, of course, more of the Lemur’s View From Down Here.
