Watchful neighbors

Yesterday our very active neighborhood watch, which sends an email when an unfamiliar face walks down the street, was completely silent as a tow truck maneuvered around our parked cars to drag off two clunkers from our lot. Instead of calling to ask if this was expected, left over 4th of July party favors exploded among the exuberant cheers of our rejoicing neighbors who did not care if the cars were being stolen by metal scrapers or legitimately being removed by a car dealer. Thanks guys!

A blogger blogs, always

A writer who waits for ideal conditions under which to work will die without putting a word on paper.
– Kurt Vonnegut

Sometimes I hear people say, "blogging is dead" or "I don’t get any visitors anymore" or "no one reads this anymore." I’ve said it myself. My wife has said it. My blogging friends have said it. My blogging friends who no longer blog have said it and committed blogicide.

Visitors, comments, stats…none of it matters. Write! Writing matters.
