Too Tired To Blog

Yeah, like that's ever going to happen. I'm a writer and publishing a nicely-written piece gives me a great feeling of fulfillment.

My longer, and finely crafted, daily diary entries on the Cruise Critic message board when I'm on a cruise are a delight to write and, as I watch the view numbers spin up, applause to my ears. Some of my friends don't understand why I want to post while cruising; they aren't writers and don't understand how this is the cherry on top of the chocolate yogurt with whipped cream I get each afternoon.

The day would not be complete, now that I have my own corner on Blogspot, if I did not leave something of myself here, whether my daily activities, or just random thoughts on the universe in general. It's just stuff that can't be covered in my column on big band music. Trumpets and trombones are fine, but they can't compete with galaxies and quarks.

But, in fact, I am tired tonight and this will be a shorter entry than usual. I will contemplate the mysteries of the universe with my eyes closed, horizontally.
