It has been some 6-ish months since my last post. I've turned 40, voted, and I decided perhaps that it is time to share this blog with others - one of my new year's resolutions for 2019 is to push the submit button more. I like to take photos and upload them to the internet to share with family and friends, and every so often that is interrupted, and I don't share. The photos pile up locally until our laptop has no space for new photos, and eventually I am forced to declare photo bankruptcy and delete some number of old, possibly unposted photographs to make room for new photographs that might or might not get posted... What a terrible system! Today, something of that sort happened when I spilled a coffee drink all over my backpack and almost sent 2 memory cards that happened to be in the backpack into the laundry... The laptop drive is close to full, and we're at sea in the middle of a long-needed vacation.
I am a technically savvy person, and still, I haven't quite devised a system to figure out how to manage the balance between the joy of taking photos with the work of processing (usually 1-5 minutes per photo) and then uploading and sharing said photos with my friends on social media. Why on earth might you want to vote for someone like that? Beats me. I just haven't posted in what feels like forever. Mind you, dear reader, this is not a promise to resume posting at a regular rate, but instead a return for the moment in the light of the new year's season. The blogging software carefully tracks these posts, so I have no excuses. No excuses. That sounds like a decent campaign slogan / new year's resolution.
Wishing you and your families a safe and happy new year.
