Still not up to par, but I feel well enough to write a post or two. Thanks for all of those who left nice messages. I hope this takes care of the sick stuff for the next few years.
Paper Notes ?
- Paper notes in a digital world? Absolutely. I still believe in pens, pencils, notebooks, journals, daily planners, letter writing, thank-you cards, and all things that celebrate a life that respects the placing of words on paper. Though, obviously, the words you are now reading are not on paper, they are definitely on paper - in spirit. In an age of blogs (like this one), blogs about blogs, online publications of all kinds and everything digital, I still celebrate the journal kept in a notebook, bound books, magazines, a good newspaper and the literary world of old. I love to read about writing and writers. I’d rather read an interview with Somerset Maugham or Paul Auster than the gurus of the computer age. Why? I think my full-plunge into computing in the late eighties has worn me down. I feel disconnected in the most connected age of all. Read More Here

Nice to see you back. I've missed reading your Blog... you always have such interesting essays. I agree with you about using writing as punishment. I remeber having gone through a few of these punishments myself.. I still do like writing though. Maybe the punishment didn't have it's desired effect on me?
