Counting down

The timer on the battery said 1:04 and should have been almost enough to carry me over, until 7-7-7, the mental anniversary for this little blog, four turns of the dates on from the gentle almost random beginning back in March of2003. But after I started typing (and hence using the wlan) it has jumped down to 46 and back up to 52 minutes, so maybe the proper reflection and re-cap post will still have to wait until tomorrow.

Regardless, as it has from the beginning the blog will continue to come in bursts and jerks, periods of silence followed by rapid posts over a few days, and then the cycle resumes. Life and work both have a tendency to conspire against long term steady commitments, unless I actually put it in Outlook as an appointment every few days. Perhaps over the summer, but for the next month life on the road means random schedules and connectivity.

As an example, the next post is from a train trip at the end of May - wrote it in word, but had some loose ends to connect and some links to find. Put here it is, a short month later. And there will hopefully be a bit more up over the weekend. If not, the third and final part (or the first of the last actually) of 7th Son will be coming out. Check it out, it has been hyped enough to be worth a free listen...

...and the sun has been gone since Sunday - and today the "one day rain amount" record was broken...
