For nearly fourteen years I was able to keep up this daily blog of books and music.
About a year ago I got a promotion and that changed everything. I no longer had the time to post everything I wanted to. Heck, I didn’t even seem to have the time to read all the short stories I wanted to. Amusingly (or not), just before this new position, I had gotten a print subscription to the New Yorker. This now means that I (like many others) have a two-foot stack of New Yorker magazines that I haven’t even looked at yet.
For a few weeks I was limiting myself to only the concerts that I went to because that was a little easier to write about. Although back in the good old days, I used to include photo and links, and I pretty much have neither now. And I’m several shows behind as well.
So I’m still reading books and I think I may try to post some thoughts about them from time to time. I’d also like to think I have time to write about my concerts, but even those are proving to be challenging.
So let’s consider the blog on hiatus more or less, with occasional posts about things I’ve read or listened to.
The good thing is that I like the new position and wouldn’t change it for the world. I guess I never realized how much down time my old position gave me!
