Welcome to The Old Blog
Below you will find entry into The Old Blog. These posts cover the entirety of The Big Change from Life Afloat to The Hiatus. It’s a long read so take your time and come back often. While it’s a big ask on my part, understanding how I ended up where – and why – I did will simplify the so-called narrative arc and make a lot less work for me trying to explain all that in each and every current post. So strap in and get started but be warned: there be dragons here.
The Old Blog is shown starting with the oldest post. This – rather thoughtful move on my part – means that, when read in order, you get to see how the whole story with all its twists, turns, and confusing diversions simply falls into place. Sort of like tossing a jigsaw puzzle into the air and having it land with each piece exactly where it belongs.
But that’s life.
Thanks for reading.
Bye-Bye Birdie
In which the author ties the knot – no, not like that, more like on the bag of kittens on the bank of the river – and departs the venal shores of his homeland for the unknown possibilities of a distant land.
The Ice Man Cometh
In which the author detects a chill in the air and cold water up to his ankles.
Born to be. Wild, huh?
In which the author, confronted by his eventual mortality, decides to go all in.
Dead to Rights
In which the author completes the wall of logic which demands that he not set forth. But then does so anyway.
