a post about posts

Well I am now more than3/4 of the way through a full month of posts. It has been a very good thing. Something I will try to continue into the new year. Generally speaking writing is good for me. As a professor in architecture school used to tell me "Get it out of your head so you can work on it. You can't get anything done in your head". He was talking about design but, it is true in many aspects of life. When things are stuck in my head they get jumbled together and perspective becomes impossible. Getting things onto paper gives the distance needed for true reflection instead of melodramatic angst. And doing it here means that I can get some of the important stuff out there to people that need to know when I need to say it, not when the time is convenient or 'right'. And it has been very nice to that many of you have been enjoying the steady stream of my wandering thoughts. I have enjoyed providing them.
