The Blogging Paradox

Well, it seems I haven't posted for almost a week. Guess we've been pretty busy! This brings to mind the Blogging Paradox, or is it an irony?

That is, when you're really busy, your life may be more interesting, but you have no time to post to the blog. And when you have time to post to the blog, it may mean nothing is happening, or nothing interesting is happening.

Or maybe the trick to posting regularly is to create a rhythm or cadence, such that you can make the time when it is necessary.

In the last week, I spent a day at MacWorld Expo in San Francisco, plus another day at home to prepare, and another day at home to recover. I also spent two days at the San Jose Coin Club show in San Jose. And Mary and I started a Home Improvement class offered through Milpitas Adult Education. I have plenty to post about all of these, but no time!

Our calendar for January is really packed. The main reason is we plan to seriously start looking for work in early February. A secondary reason is that our annual passes for Disneyland are valid until January 23, so we want to try to get down there one more time before they expire. Yes, I know we just got back from there. Can one every have too much Disneyland? (don't answer that)

Between now and the end of January, we plan to go to Yosemite for two days so we can see it during the winter, go to Disneyland for two days, go to our Truth Project class at church every Wednesday, go to our Home Improvement class every Thursday, dance C2 at Helen's Barn in Bakersfield for a weekend, and visit Mary's dad in Portland for three days. Oh, and each of us has assorted doctor's appointments and stuff two. Is there really time to do all these, even if we're not working right now?

Which brings to mind the Retirement Irony, or is it a paradox? How did we ever find time to work? We have less time now than we ever did when we were working!
