wine, women and smoke is a nifty little animation, made more pleasurable as one realizes it's all back-drawn... they are all good, though pickle may be my other favoritist.

I'm having a lazy slow morning, this last day of 2002. I'm surfing. I realize I don't surf anymore. I used to. I used to get up in the morning, pick a blog-starting point, and go... noting sites as I went for the gleanings newsletter.

But writing the book slowly weaned me off random wanders, and forced me to do only directed searching-- research. Soon the only odd sites I'd find were mailed to me (thank god for friends, family and readers-- keep me sane!).

And now, I'm wandering again, following links, running searches and my curiosity is peaked... wondering what will become of gleanings. I keep thinking I should resurrect it. But do I want to? When I started it, there were only a handful of blogs pointing this way and that-- now there are thousands.

Maybe essays? Or links with mini-essays? Or maybe nothing. Maybe it's time to retire the old newsletter, and go to digests of the blog. Or maybe it's time to stop blogging? it's not like I don't have enough ways to communicate, via B&A, AIfIA, mailing lists and so on...

I wonder what 2003 will be like, I wonder what role I'll play... what will make me happy...

Obviously that article "What should I do with my life" has you asking the "questions" now. Just a quick advice, don't let it overwhelm you. Take it easy. It's a new year around the corner.
