Starting Out

My daughter has been blogging for several years, and I have often thought of doing it as well, but for some reason I finally chose this evening to jump in. This evening - when I am so busy . I need to write a long e mail commenting on a 100 foot pile of construction loan documents, and finish several other deadly dull legal tasks, all of which I need to wind up in the next 4 hours, so that I have time to pack my suitcase and straighten up my cluttered apartment just enough to enable me to walk back in next Tuesday without gagging, and then head to the airport and a four day weekend in Florida. I need four days of just taking long walks and sitting on the sand watching waves and a shimmering blue sky and tiny shore birds making little footprints in the damp along the shore, and forgetting about legal work, a cluttered apartment, a cluttered and repetitive daily life, a writing career that jolts along then stalls and then sometimes finds enough gas to actually move smoothly for a short time - a very short time - and all of those things that led me to decide to run away, at least for four days. So, I'm also starting this blog. I'll actually commence writing something that makes sense perhaps tomorrow. For now, just a start is at least progress of sorts.
