It's My Second Blogiversary

Today marks two years since I started this blog.

As I look back at the body of posts I've accumulated here, I think the blog really captures who I am. Yet, I don't really use the blog as a journal where I write my innermost thoughts and feelings. I split my life into three and write about it on corresponding blogs. My "gay" life (only political at this point) is on the ECCO site, and my home life on the Alzheimer's Moments site.

Sometimes I think I spend too much time thinking about the blog. Where ever I go, what ever I do, I think about the potential of turning it into a post. Do I have my camera? What do I have to see to make sure I can tell an interesting story?

Most recently, I made some modifications to the blog format. I have to say I'm loving it and wish I had figured out how to make photos and YouTube videos larger from the beginning. This look allows me to quickly change the background image and accompanying favicon, too. I love taking photos so maybe I can do something new every season. The current flower was a pic I took on my hike out in Utah.

A year ago I made it a goal to show and tell more about the Capital District here in NY. I have to say I have fallen short. Being housebound taking care of my mom puts a big crimp in my ability to come and go.

Thanks for reading. I look forward to sharing ideas and stories going forward!
