There he walks, the little child, plodding along.
One step, hundred steps, a thousand steps.
Plodding, on and on, neverending.
Where is he going?
. . .
As I look around me, all I see is concrete, dried grass and dead leaves.
All around me is death and destruction. Void of any life.
Then, at last - sign of life!
Shades of green, shades of white.
… It was a potted plant.

So I had this great beginning of a blog post worked out earlier this afternoon. It was well written, witty, and with just enough edge to suck you, dear readers, in.
And then I lost it. In a fit of un-cooperativeness, my web browser hung, and I had to watch with tear-filled eyes as I manually killed it, and tried to restart.
Of course it restarted - it always does. But this edit box - the very one that I am typing in RIGHT NOW - was empty. Poof. Gone.
And there was much gnashing of teeth - grumbling, growling, cursing of the computer-gods… All in vain.
So I am starting over. A clean slate, a fresh start - new possibilities to woo you, to squeeze one more ounce of reader attraction out of my meager writing skills….
It is odd, really - I spent the last few days trying to come up with something new to write. It had been just the right amount of days since my last post - not too long (well, it has been too long now). I had several days worth of material to write about… Halloween, Maker faire, my day-to-day living.
But fate would have it that none of this inspired me. Not at all. Amid the previously-mentioned gnashing of teeth, mutterings about my muse, et cetera - the fountain had dried up. My muse, where was she? (I suspect she was enjoying a cup of late-night coffee at one of our most excellent coffee shops nearby.)
And that brings us here. To this. It is nowhere near as funny as older writings, and yet somehow, I hope you have made it all the way through to the end. Or the almost-end. The this-would-be-done-if-you-would-only-shut-up-dom.
And that’s what I’ll do now.
Good night, and thanks for making it through.
Oh, and screw the world. :)
