Summer Hiatus

It started out so well, the book reviews, the stories, the tie-ins, and now I am mired in sarcasm again. It is a default mentality I seem to slide into when all my thoughts turn snarky. No matter how well-deserved my observations may be about their subjects, this was not originally the intent of my blog.

Lobbing a snarky attack at some job advertisement is just too easy. I go after the verbal low hanging fruit, and make obvious comments. I really wanted something more. The plastics recycling bit is much closer to what I really want, and those are the thoughts that are really HARD. To talk about problems that don't appear to be in process of solution, that is so much more challenging.

As much as I love to write, I still feel a tug to keep my topics close to a well-defined base. Anyone can be the sneering, finger-pointing critic. The blogosphere doesn't need another one of those. So with that in mind, I'm declaring a summer hiatus.

I've got a lot of work to do to maintain the mental state that doesn't slip back to default mode. That said, I will let Robert Frost end this post for me:

...But I have promises to keep
And miles to go before I sleep
And miles to go before I sleep.
