If I'd known I'd be here for 14 years, I don't think I would have created my account on September 11.
And I didn't intend to. As I recall, I tried to sign up (at the suggestion of my friend Artemismad Scientist) earlier in September of 2004, but there were some technical issues - issues that resulted in that annoying "02" at the tail end of my username (there is no cathartes01, and never has been, as far as I know). It was only during a late night at my then-office that I got that straightened out, so I think I missed 9/10 by just an hour or so.
This was 14 years ago, as I said, so my memory on the details is suspect. 14 years is a long time. I've been a moderator for 12 of those years, and been a regular editor of the Comedy and Fantasy newsletters for most of that time.
And yes, I know I haven't entered a thing in this blog for over six years. Life has been... uninspiring, I suppose. Am I back to it, then? I don't know. I don't want to make statements I can't back up with deeds. Every night, just after midnight, I get the reminder to update my blog. That reminder has been there, taunting me, for so long that it's been as much a part of the background of my life as beer. More, actually; I don't drink beer every day.
If anyone is still following along, let me catch you up on what's been going on since May 13, 2012:
 I spent my 2014 birthday in hospital as a result of a heart attack. As you can see, I survived it.
Several road trips happened. Some even before I quit writing here. I recorded some of them on my WordPress blog 
I'm officially divorced with very little interest in dating. Unfortunately, this also means I don't have any health insurance.
I spent a month in Maui. Or "on" Maui. Still not sure how you're supposed to put it. No one says "on Manhattan."
Nerd camp (just this past June).
Still not published.
There's probably more, but I have to save some details for future entries, right? |
