The right amount of time between posts, the right message for the times.

I have looked back on the distance between posts only to come up with this simple conclusion-- more doesn't equal better. The last six days have been very introspective allowing my better half and I to work on how we would like to see the next two years play out. I on the otherhand would like to see more travel in our future and a few more trips out of our neighborhood to places that we haven't seen in a while. On this we agree. We have for the most part been prisoners of the city minus a few trips to see family and the wandering spirit in both of us has overridden the need for new things. We are evolving our lives into something that will create the memories that we wished to impart to the kiddos. Things must have- purpose. Why do we have this? What do we gain from this? Does this contribute to the greater need? We are running out of time, so our time is now.

At a Starbucks near you...

So I make a trip to my local Starbucks this afternoon for a little pick me up. While getting my Double Tall Non Fat No whip Mocha I notice something interesting. Roughly 80% of the people sitting there were discussing a business plan of some sort. One with a Flip camera, another shuffling through a briefcase to get papers out, and somehow the small coffee shop feel that Starbucks founded itself on has become just another corporate meeeting room. Jazz, good friends talking over coffee seem to be an evening activity now, as from nine to five we're open for "business". I know and would be fooling myself if in this economy I was demanding that Starbucks limits its clientele. Just an interesting observation for today. So if you are looking for atmosphere- look local. If you are looking for business go to the chain store.

I'll keep observing for your reading.

A Leaner, meaner, minimalist blog...

Leaner, meaner, minimalist.


It sounds like a recipe for a angry, rant filled post.  It's not, so don't worry about it.  The beauty of writing is that occasionally you can go back and re-read what is written and then say "What was I thinking?"  So I did, and then I cleaned, I deleted, I simplified.  I've saved the greatest hits, the ones that I want for posterity  so I can say I was right, and that leaves us with the new things.  


There is another reason for the clean up.  I'm changing direction.  How, what, when, how?  I have the same answer for all––  I don't know.  There will be changes, what they are I don't know, I'm working to make the blog something that I didn't think possible.  Only that I haven't figured it out yet.  The address will be the same, the look different, the name may change along the way, the direction definitely.  You're welcome along for the ride.
