Like Ron Burgundy, I love many things (Scotch doesn't make the list). Of my loves, life is foremost, and then, as the title of my blog alludes, the list goes on.
Why lament?
Why not?!
Writing is therapeutic. No stress, obession, complaint, joy, regret, or just plain thought is too big or small to make it to the blog page. Right? Here I will find free, self-indulged therapy with the hope that others might reap a benefit or two, a yawn or two, a chuckle or two, or just enjoy a moment or two of mindless reading.
Also, after years of studying writing, writing because I had to, and now teaching writing, this is time to write because I want to. I'll coin the phrase, perhaps the mantra for this avenue, "unadulterated dishing." Of course, my thoughts will be edited because
a) I am a "grammar cop" by nature.
b) I wish to keep my job, friends, family, etc.
c) I don't want to look back on this and ask myself "What I was thinking?"
OK. FINE. I am already starting to ask, "What am I thinking," but I will move forward because, similar to my impulsive/compulsive shopping soirees, I just can't stop.
What do you love?
Blogging? Mindless reading? Me? :)
Well, for whatever reason you're here, welcome.
