Some personal musings

Bear with me here. I never wanted to be one of those bloggers who seems preoccupied with minutiae from his own life. I've lived long enough to know that what's bugging me right now won't necessarily be bothering me tomorrow, so to sit and angst in public about the current agita just seems counter-productive to me. On the other hand... ...this blog has been almost entirely impersonal lately. I love information policy. I think that's obvious. And I love New York. That's pretty bloody obvious, too. Just skim down the page at the entries below this one. But just last week, I was talking to my uncle and he said, "Have you ever considered being a professional writer?" Today, a friend I've been out of touch with for over a decade wrote out of the blue. Among his comments: "Had no idea you were such a good writer." That's flattering. I've looked back over this site, tonight, and I've remembered how much fun it is to write about my own experiences. Check out the writing section of my site. None of it will win awards, but all of it was a complete kick to write. I need to do that again. Soon.
