Guilt Breeds Delay
I have been actively not writing on this blog of late. The crushing weight of expectation is keeping me mute. The 62 pictures of my recent sojourn in Kentucky loom, waiting for clever, insightful description. My failure to post is not born of complaisance. I do want to report on that trip. I want to let you know the many details, both prosaic and profound. And yet I cannot bring myself to write the entry. Perhaps I am reveling in the pleasure of potential or am fearful of a letdown if my words fail to satisfy. Or maybe I'm just lazy. Yes. It's probably laziness. Now that the declaration of my recent failures has been issued, however, I may be compelled to perform.
Here are some photos, a parting salvo as I try to resurrect some modicum of interest in this otherwise pathetic entry.
Here are friend Christian and I on Thursday morning, walking our dogs in the park near his (and Emily's) Federal Hill home. We spent the night with them on Wednesday and chanced to play the Nintendo Wii, a gift bestowed by Emily on Christian upon completing the Maryland bar two weeks ago. The Wii was extraordinary; I am deeply conflicted about whether or not it is a good idea to obtain one.
Here are friends Garet and Matt Libby (outstanding people), visiting tonight from Cleveland. Garet and I lived together both freshman and junior years of college. After a fine meal of local pizza, we played Sorry, a favorite game to which we have added some clever new rules.
It is good to have friends, if only to cite time spent with them as an excuse for not writing at length about travels in Kentucky. Tomorrow I'll have no friends, however. Just long and lonely hours alone at my desk. I shall write, with or without the attending joy, about my trip to the Bluegrass State.
I'm sure you are on tenterhooks. It is appropriate to feel this way. I'll do my best to keep your pending disappointment in check.
