Summer doldrums

[Or should that be "dull drums"? :o) ]

Jeff asked where all his friends went to play and why he can't come along? I liked Barb's reply, it's close to where I am at, too, re., I've processed most of what I had to say about theology and church (for now) and am simply living and loving and learning and listening.

But also, after the horrible depression of this past spring, I find myself in a quiet mood now, perhaps waiting for the next round of mania to hit, I don't know. I am not writing very much on my two mailing lists, either. Still on a news sabbatical, too. I am blogging a bit more on my other blog, so there is some creativity happening there. And I am coding at work (actually a rarer event than I would like), and to anyone who likes to write but is also a programmer you know that the creative spurts in coding tend to sap you of energy to produce much else. Especially since it means having to unload the programming language(s) from your head and reload English.

So...I'm here. Reading everyone else's posts (although sorry, I am rapidly skimming most theology posts for now). If you're posting about family or feelings or friends or frustrations I am reading those (here's some theology for you - "It's the relationships, stupid.") I am happily married with children. Happy to be employed, given the alternatives some of my friends are going through, and being fairly productive at work. Puttering along in the garden. Mostly just enjoying the summer. I will still be posting here daily just because I am still trying to keep up with the Blog365 commitment (over halfway there!), and hopefully I'll have something more interesting to say soon. Until then you're stuck hearing about grilling and ice cream and kids and "stuff".

Speaking of the kids, I was walking upstairs to make coffee this morning and got within earshot just in time to hear Erin (12) tell Gloria (10) re. their shared bathroom that, "There are other people in this house, you know!" :o)

As Rev. Dan sez, "Peace out, peace in."
