Seven years ago yesterday I started this blog. I cannot believe that it has been that long. I started the blog as an outlet because I was home with an infant and frankly I was bored. I have been going through many of my old posts because I have had to go through and update the photo links from my old blog because when I transferred my Movable Type blog to Wordpress I messed something up (big surprise). Anyway, I have been taking a little walk down memory lane. I was surprised how much I used to write about things. It reads so much more like a journal back then, which is nice for me, but probably not so nice for others. I was surprised at how wistful I felt about the writing and how much I missed it. But the reality is it would never be 'real' writing. It would be me writing for an audience. No one may ever read my blog, but it is still written for an intended audience. So it would never be the same as writing for myself. But I am not sure how much that matters, or indeed if it matters at all. So I am not really sure where I am going with this. Just that I am feeling a bit nostalgic lately. Surprised at how fast it is all going by. Wishing it would slow down. Just a bit. I also went through a bunch of old photos and that REALLY made me nostalgic. Here are just a few—first one is me in my office with the woman who used to work for me in SF (about 2002/3—OMG I WISH I was still that skinny); second ones are Tucker and Lula when they were super young (about 1998) and last is Ben and Sam in pre-school at CDC.
