I realized this week yet another reason why I'm enjoying blogging: I can get away with only telling each story once! I've always found it hard to tell and re-tell tales, because I increasingly lose interest with each pass. Something I can't wait to recount the first time becomes a dead fish in my mouth by the time I have to repeat it to the fourth or fifth person, in most cases.
With a blog, though, I can write it up once, choosing my words with care and affection, know that most of the people in my inner circle will read it there, and then for anyone else who wants to hear about it, I can just grunt and point them in the direction of my blog site! It's a perfect solution to a problem that's plagued me most of my life.
And in that same spirit: for those who weren't here for the early days, my 6th blog post, after a very short and unsuccessful stint on MySpace, was Why blog? (Chapter One) As you can see, I've been reflecting on the reasons for blogging right from the beginning.
