"Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin' into the future"

Blogging, like many things boggles my mind. I've been writing here for five years. Blogging was about as in as it was going to be when I started, now it's less than a tweet, barely a face in a book of thousands.

Life goes by. I see it as I blog. Right now I'm playing a Pandora station called Tommy Emanuel, centered around a guitar virtuoso recommended by a reader that became a friend.

Only a cold, I hope as I sniffle. As a kid I used to read the back page of my father's Forbes magazines: Thoughts On The Business Of Life. I still check it out from time to time. This week the focus is on colds and the like and this quote is included: "Illness is the night side of life, a more onerous citizenship. Everyone who is born holds dual citizenship, in the kingdom of the well and in the kingdom of the sick." - Susan Sontag

Going back five years, I wonder about the ramifications of this blog. There have been major effects. Blogs and bloggers have come and gone. And the idea of writing longhand thoughts and feeling seems to be evaporating.

Go know who's going to be your true friend when the moment of need comes. Go know if who you thought would come to your side resembles, in any way, what you guessed the scene would look like.

I am tired, but not done.

Not long ago I was fourteen, reading this article, by Ellen Willis, in an Ellenville hotel.

Good night and G-d bless.
