5 Things – What the Heck? What Can I Expect?

As I was reworking the look and feel of this blog, a couple of things caught my attention.

1. I was reminded that my travel destinations allow/invite me to go off on a whole slew of rabbit trails.
2. I recognized that I have quite a few opinions about the tools and products I use and I often advocate others to use/purchase things I’ve found useful. [Shocking, I know.]

So, while I was reworking the catgories and tags, I decided it might be fun to create a series of posts to share some of those opinions. Hence,  5 Things was born!

 My 5 Things posts will essentially be my way to ”review” places, things, and perhaps even concepts. [Really, though? Who knows? I just made this up! I'm out of control with all of this power!]

My current plan is to post 5 things [hence the brilliant title of the category] that I like about insert place, thing, or concept here. The goal is to focus on the positives… in other words, this is not a place to bash a place or product … however, if there are cons or downsides that I think are important to know, I guarantee that they’ll end up here!

Hopefully, some of what shows up here will be helpful!

That said, I’m off to work on the first “review” … want a tease? Think Pacific Northwest … think … wait, I’ve already said too much!

Offline

I’m getting ready to enter the world of my past. It’s a place of disconnectedness – although I didn’t know it back then because “being connected” meant something different then.

I’ll not bore you with the details. Suffice it to say, I’ll be offline for a few days. Honestly, I hate being offline and I’m not exactly sure when that happened. But, this is worth it.

“But wait!” you yell. You are in the middle – almost to the end, actually – of NaBloPoMo. You made a deal and you haven’t missed a day. (At least, I imagine that’s what you’d yell if you’ve been following this and are at all interested.)

You are right. I signed up to blog every day for the month of November. So, I’m going to blog every day. I just won’t be able to post it until I can get reconnected.

I think that counts. It’s going to have to.

So … enjoy the weekend and I’ll see you back here in a few days.

About, The New Page

It’s late and I’m really tired. I must go to bed, but I wanted to quickly explain the “no post” for yesterday! I did not go visit my former slacker blogger universe again.

For the past few days, I’ve been working on that traditional bloggers post … you know, the one where we sit at a keyboard and try to write 100 things about ourselves. 100 things that paint the picture we want folks to have of us.

It was an interesting thing to do, that’s for sure. There are so many more things that I could have put – and of, course I reserve the right to go in and change out and entry if a better one comes to my attention! Check out what this is all ”About“ in that section.

Anyway … it really was a fun thing to do. Try it! Be honest, but not too hard on yourself. Come on … do it … even if you aren’t a blogger.
