There are just times when you have to get away. And much as I’d like, Tahiti is just not in my future right now. So, I end up going where I can. Which at this point, is out to my garage. My space. A dirty, cluttered, car filled expanse of MY space. A place where you learn to LOOK before you grab something, lest you get pummeled with something heavy balanced above you. I place where I can crank the stereo and not care what anyone else thinks. Needless to say, with the stresses of work recently, I’ve been retreating to the garage, more and more. I can move stuff around, pretend I’m cleaning and organizing. Bang on some car parts for a while. Or I can wander in the back and shoot some pool or knock around some pinballs. (Keep in mind that my garage is a little larger than most. And it has an attached gameroom on the back.) And while its not quite as cool as the actual Batcave, I am putting a computer in out there. And you do need a fingerprint to open the door now.

And while I’m not sure that the “vent or die” sentiment that a commenter expressed recently is exactly the direction I want to take, I can at least understand where its coming from. This Blog was created to serve as an outlet of sorts. An Excuse to get writing more often. And a place to put all of the random thoughts that just don’t fit anywhere else. Generalizing a bit, I think that most of my repeat visitors are people that actually know me outside of the web. And in that respect, the frequency of posts here isn’t really an issue. To the visitors that stumbled into this little pit without a clue and found something that amused/interested/horrified you, I apologize for the infrequency of the posting. I’ll try to do better.
