Blogging

Blogging requires a certain kind of discipline. Like keeping a diary it is best done every day. Making up days is very difficult and you find yourself falling further behind. Our schedule here is such that it is hard to find time until well after dinner. But by then the good conversations are started and it is hard to leave the fellowship of the group to go type.

It was particularly hard last Thursday. We have worked right to the last minute. We had worked hard all day long and it had been warm and humid. Dinner comes and the meeting after goes. Then the devil suggests we all go for a beer at the Shed. We are all so tired one is all we could have and when we got back at 9 o’clock, bed was all I want to experience.

The weekends present a different problem. We have less of a routine, particularly in the evening. Some of us go to New Orleans to send off the crew from the week before and to greet the new crew. After burning the candle at both ends all week, all I wanted to do on a Saturday night in New Orleans is go to sleep.

But blogging is also fun. It helps us to remember the path, long after our tracks have been covered over by those who are also traveling the path.
