Home Stretch

Happy Thanksgiving! That's where we are in 2009... at the end of November with only a month to go before we ring in the new year. The home stretch. Yes, I've left my blogsite languishing; too many other irons in the fire and too many excuses. It's not that I haven't much to rant about, but perhaps it's a feeling of helplessness, hopelessness or haplessness (of being able to effect a change) that has me directing my energies elsewhere. That energy is more or less focused on a few priorities I've identified over a period of introspection: my cats, motorcycling and volleyball. Of course there are incidentals such as art, technology, etc., but back to the point, I've put a finger on it. The 3 biggest irons. And now to figure how best to integrate dragonmojo.com into the current and future scheme of things.

Time for a change... time to turn and face the strain.

Gee Thanks

I have a long weekend ahead of me... woohoo! We got some rain today; long overdue, and fortunately it was just showers on my ride home from work. Having to ride in downtown traffic on slick streets is not my idea of fun. The precip was short-lived as we look forward to fair days ahead with temps near the mid-60s. Tomorrow I give thanks, for it is Thanksgiving. So many things I am thankful for despite what anyone thinks (I'm really not so crotchety and cynical after all).

My friends invited me to yet another year to share in the traditional dinner. I will be riding. Friday is for recovering from whatever gastronomic damage was wrought the night before. It is Black Friday, and in such a sour economy, it is still recognized as the busiest shopping day of the year. I will be riding. Saturday and Sunday I hope to do more of the same, and perhaps Monday I will give it a break.

Happy Thanksgiving!
