Crossing
Crossing from one year to the next…. This year has been one of separations and endings. In fact, more than ever in my life, I've made many breaks – but without having to do so, and at my own speed. As I am someone who has, many times, suddenly leapt or been driven from one…

A bit vague, not lost

Anniversary of this blog… sixteen years. A few days ago, really, on Saturday, but this is close enough. No, the blog doesn't feel dead to me, I'm still here for it, and it for me. I retired from the university in February; moved the books of my office to storage; and now keep talking about…

[Essaying] Bloggisization
Brian Dillon, Essayism. He writes beautifully, and has become famous by doing it. Actually I'd never heard of him until I started noticing those Fitzcarraldo Editions – are they named for somebody involved, or for Herzog's strange movie, and the man the movie is about, played by the mad Kinski? – it's probably about the…

Anniversary, and questions
A few days ago was the fifteenth anniversary of this blog – 14 May 2006. I wanted to finish a blog entry from September 2019 – so a bit more than a year and a half ago – a fairly amazing late-summer experience of Vienna, Barcelona, Sitges, and life, and excitement, and death, and ending.…

Anniversary
Well… not quite the anniversary. It was thirteen years since this blog was begun… as of yesterday. A day late, that's appropriate for a thirteenth anniversary, yes? ••• No posts since the new year; which doesn't mean I'm giving up on this. I do like the blog, I like writing it…. I want to transfer it…

Sky in evening
The sky is a mixture of dim golds and blues…. ••• Last week, we had four beautiful days of summer. Early May; those four days were strictly delimited – the weather was forecast to change on the fifth day to an ongoing 58-62 for the indefinite future, and it did exactly that. But those summer…

Anniversary, again
The eleven-year anniversary of this blog…. Well, hey, it matters to me. A bit. ••• After a brief but unpleasant virus – probably caught on that hasty train south and back – everything has a slightly disconnected feel to it: still coughing occasionally, but so what?… work to do, but really, who needs it?… Shower,…

Anniversary
Well: a surprise – ten years today since I started this blog. Cue opening vamp for 'I'm Still Here.' (MJ, you'll remember how much needs to be put into that song to carry it off…) ••• Time, change. Current health update: last week was terrible, this week wasn't bad. I took advantage of seeing the senior…

Nine years
Nine years ago today, this blog was begun… in 2006. And this the 708th post!… so, about one every 4.6 days. Not as often as I feel-that-I-should, but steady enough I guess. So, how's it going? There's egotism of course – I like my own writing – which, I think, has gotten better – though…

Anniversary
My first blog post was dated 14 May 2006… good lord, eight years ago. 689 posts (including this one), therefore eighty-six or so per year – actually rather better than I thought. I experience this as – partly – a long-term narrative of moving from sadness, and a lot of retelling stories of the past,…
