Time Out

I may take some time out from blogging. I wrote some things yesterday that I chose not to post...one a snippet from a piece of fiction I am calling 'The Sacred Civil War' and another a piece I called 'Veterinary Priest.' Neither were satisfactory. It's possible that both of them will be stuffed into a closet, never to see the light of day. I think I need to decide what I want to write about...personal travelogues, personal poetry, novels, short stories, political diatribes, or all of the above. If the latter, I need to get better across the board.

I have yet to finish my personal travelogues of the shrimp-fest in Falba and a couple of others. Maybe I have adult onset ADD. I can't seem to finish one project before I move on to the next. I think, though, it's more likely that I just want a different environment. The heat and hate of Texas are taking their toll on me. I'm perhaps the worst of the haters, but that's getting old. I want to mellow a bit...treat everyone better, including myself. I'd love to move somewhere else and start over. If only I could figure out how to get my wife on board with the idea...just drop it all and start anew! I think we could have a wonderful life, if we could just risk it all. I'm feeling a need for church, without the religion.

Anyway, I may continue to write a little on a daily basis, or I may not. I just want to remove yet another little obligation. I should spend my writing time walking, anyway. And I should reduce the booze and the food. Speaking of food, lunch today was not bad...fish tacos for me, fried oysters for my lovely wife...there I go again! I have to get back to cucumber and radish mode!
