Still Alive

Hello! I am still alive and kicking.

Thank you all so much for your kind comments and emails. It warms my heart to know that people are enjoying my writing, and using it to help guide them through a book as intimidating and confusing as Moby-Dick; or, the Whale.

Fans of my Moby Dick posting should definitely check out this Defector post about their experiences with the novel. I found it extremely entertaining, and relatable.

Things have been pretty good for me lately, but I have been busy and a bit stressed out lately. But, if I’m being 100% honest, the main reason I haven’t returned to blogging on a regular basis is that I haven’t been able to find a good place for it in my weekly schedule.

I am a man of habits. I have a way I do things, and the only way for me to do things consistently is to build it into a routine. When I try to do things on the fly, when I have time, they end up taking up more and more of my time as I try to work other things around them.

There’s still a lot of passion left in my old bones for Moby Dick, and many other things, but my job and various life chores end up taking all my energy. Same old story.

Still, I’m looking forward to moving to Tacoma, the City of Destiny. Getting out of my apartment more often. Living closer to a place where I can get good bagels. Living near the sea again….

I’m going to figure out how to post here more often again, I am still committed to finishing that dang book. In the meanwhile, you can check out my tumblr (a window into my brain in the form of ceaseless reblogs) or my cohost (regular little diary blogs and photos).

I’ll be back with more Moby Dick… soon!!
