I had this thought the other day, after I had spent hours crafting a particular post, and more hours in the days before writing posts and reading other people's blogs - am I a blog-glutton?

And I decided that I was definitely headed that direction.

So I went on a diet.  Actually, it was more of a semi-involuntary fast.  Life got really busy with all kinds of things.  And then when I thought it was settling down, I was convicted of laziness.  So I worked on being diligent in all things (mainly at work, but also at my house, and in my relationships - i.e. who I hung out with).
 

Now I'm back at the old blog, trying to maintain a healthy and moderate diet.  It helps that most of my friends and relatives aren't posting massively interesting things on their blogs.  My goal is to post regularly, without spending excessive amounts of time online.  If I can't say what needs to be said in about 15 minutes or so, then I need to learn how to think faster and express myself more concisely.  In short, I'm declaring my blog to be part of my ongoing education and these posts are essentially timed essays.

Note: I'm irked by changes in the way this blog-control-format thingy is running.  I can make it work, but it looks like a mess to me.  Fortunately, with the little preview feature, I'm able to assure myself that a messy workspace is not the same as a messy product.

It still bugs me.  Just not enough to actually do anything about it.  Except complain to y'all.
