Reality vs. the blog

24. August 2009 by admin.

Well, it’s been a long time coming, and it’s time to face facts…I haven’t got the time or energy to make this blog a productive enterprise.  Here’s the way it usually goes around here…up at a decent hour, a bit of coffee, conversation, maybe a chapter of a book, and then into the studio, where I dwell, for better or worse, til 6, maybe 7 pm.  I’ve no computer there, as it is located away from the house, has no internet access, and would do in electronic equipment with the dust in the air.  So, by the time I get home, my priorities are:  get dinner together…a decent dinner, meaning mostly fruits and veggies, as little processed food as possible, mostly locally raised, which means it takes some time; then after cleanup, some aerobic exercise on the bike, and some stretching for my back and other needy body parts, and then, after a shower, maybe as it’s pushing 10 pm, time to think about the computer and email, and clayart, and facebook, and maybe the blog.  Mostly you don’t want to read what’s going through my mind at that time of night.  Trust me, you don’t.  And I don’t have it in me to be perky, and creative, and prolific.  So, what happens is that I don’t blog.  And, until I figure out a way to make either more time, energy, or money so that I don’t have to work so many hours, I won’t blog.  So, there you have it.

I figure that if any of you out there are interested enough in my doings, you can check up on me by friending me on facebook, or else you can see some of the updates I will be putting on the website under the “technical/aesthetics” section, where there will for time to time be information for the potters and articles and writings that I find particularly insightful or thought provoking.

So, that’s about it from here, for now.  Time to go stretch and get those kinks out of my lower back.  Thanks for hanging in there!
