Dead and Gone

I released EE into cyberspace yesterday, kilt it off I did. It had very little pulse and perhaps even less purpose. It was kind of fun for awhile but people need another blog to read like they need a hole in the head and if I have something extreme to say I'll just say it here. It's my contribution to the blogroll weight reduction plan we've been seeing what with the departure of some marquis bloggers of late.

I really don't look for new blogs to read and I'm sure I'm missing out on some fine stuff but it's kind of like real life, you accept new friends and acquaintances that come to you from your existing circle or if you are introduced to a new environment or neighborhood or job but you really don't wake up and say, I'm going to go looking for a new friend today.

I'm quite content with all of you and my needs are met and my itches scratched and someone new comes around just often enough and I guess you could say I've got sunshine on a cloudy day so I'm standing pat which is probably better than laying pat at this point in my life. I'm doing the loner thing on the homefront which suits me now. All the years I wished for a little more aloneness, we'll I've got it and I'm relishing it for now. No one drops in on me and I prefer it that way. My kids don't, the few friends I have don't, and it's not that they're not welcome, not that at all, I just prefer some notice in case I'm doing something alone that might shock, dismay, or overly excite someone who just pops in on me.

I'm going to road trip between now and Thanksgiving, probably twice.

Any suggestions?
