It’s the first of September, 2008, Labor Day in the US. That’s when all of us laborers are supposed to get the day off. Except for the poor dweebs and schmoes working in retail and restaurants that the rest of us will enjoy on this day of relaxation and rest.
And it’s the first day for this blog, officially. I’ve been putting this day off for a long time in favor of my Anxiety, Panic & Health blog in order to get it started, and now I have enough space to devote some time to this blog.
I’ve thought about this blog for a long time, well over a year, and have written numerous posts and half-posts for it. Will they ever get published? Don’t know. Probably not, at least in their current form. Because I will be too busy with my new posts to go back and pick up old material.
What kind of post can you expect here? The tagline of the blog, “Exploring the Nexus of Joy and Infinity” is broad and vague enough for you to expect anything.
But what I mean to do is to occupy myself with the “in-between” of advancing age and the inevitable end. The unknown territory — at least to me — of what it means to get older, what it means to look back over my life, what it means to look forward to my dissolution.
I’m not writing this blog for millions of readers, I’m writing it for you. Just you. It does not concern me that I might not get a bunch of readers, or that my Google Analytics may show a dismally low quantity, or that my FeedBurner numbers are high. I may not even bother with Analytics or FeedBurner.
As long as I have you, that’s all I need. Who are you? That’s for you to decide!
