Yep, the title pretty much says what I’m thinking about doing.

By the way, consider all of my writing here as first or second draft quality and you’ll be right about where I am with my writing here.

I am shaking some of the old dust out of my blog and seeing if I keep at it or if I just let the dust of ages continue to settle here. To be honest I do miss blogging, though I don’t miss the pressure that I used to place upon myself to dream up articles, draft, schedule, edit and then publish posts. Worrying about the grammar police, the trolls who inhabit the wilds of the Internet with no purpose but to be arseholes to everyone, and wondering if anyone actually gave a rat’s arse about reading what I wrote.

This time I do believe that I will use my blog, primarily as a narrative of my attempts to keep the old body held together with duct tape, hope and a prayer here there, while I continue to run as much as it lets me. The changes that being sixty-eight, working on adding another year in 2026, are bringing into my life — too many if you ask me. But I gotta deal with them.

Then I if I stay here a bit, I plan to write about how this old fart uses tech. No I am not a Luddite, I’ve been playing with tech for too many years to let it go completely, though there are some parts of the puzzle that have me looking less to technology for the answer. Yeah, I have seen some of the changes on both sides of the pros and cons in my own life.

Finally, as I get closer to seventy, I am working at simplifying how I do things. I have to — my mind, memory, and stamina are not the same as they once were and changes are part of the equation as I get old. If something is complicated, I aim to figure out why it has to be that way and then if I continue to keep it a part of my life, simplify it to its necessary pieces or processess. Then if necessary discard whatever it is that is complicating my life with something that doesn’t.

Finally, this blog is for me to figure out things that I need to figure out. That being said, if you’d like to ride along as I write about these things cool, maybe you’ll find something of interest. Then I’ll enjoy your pithy comments and answer honestly questions that might arise. Sometimes the honest answer is that I don’t know.

Now to figure out if I will actually do this blogging thing again, or if it will rot on the beach along with other forgotten or mislaid projects that I have started and abandoned over the past few years.
