The Second Half

So I've decided to start a new blog.  I think I'll leave the old one up, at least for a while, bc it might be handy to link to stuff I posted there.

Why a new blog?  Well, I kinda feel like I'm at a turning point in life.  I've just left my job at the local library, so that opens up new opportunities.  Now, I don't necessarily need a new blog just bc I feel like I'm at a turning point (Who knows?  Maybe I'm not really at a turning point; maybe it will turn out to be more of the same.); I just feel like starting a new journal, so to speak.

I figure that, at 45 yo and very optimistically speaking, I've got another 45 years to go.  Add to that this 'turning point' vibe I've got going on, I figure I'd call this blog The Second Half.  Forty-five more years is probably way too generous an estimate, but I prefer to think that way rather than think in such a manner as to name a new blog The Two Minute Warning or Sudden Death OT or something like that.

One thing I'll do different from the last blog is that I won't do themed days.  I started doing that on the old blog sometime last year (I think) and it got to be non-fun so out with that idea.  It should go without saying that, of course, I will continue to post Friday Cat Blogging posts.  Friday Cat Blogging is a blogging institution, an internet phenomenon, it's something way bigger than my measly blogs and I have to admit that I'd almost be afraid to not continue with it.

So that's about all I've got for now, folks.  Welcome to The Second Half!
