Wow, last time I posted here on Corybanter.com, I had just run my first half marathon. Now it's about half a year later, and I have a second half marathon under my belt, and I'm registered for my third half marathon next April. So I've been running a lot, and I think my health is better than it's been in a long time. So that's good.
My blogging has been pretty scattered. I still maintain several blogs that you can visit from the links at the top of the page, but I don't have any regular schedule. My interests come and go, as they have for a long time. For a few weeks, I'll be super interested in Shakespeare; a couple weeks later, it's The Book of Mormon; and a few weeks after that, it may be the Bible, or my dictionary collection. I still haven't figured out how to make my blogging on any given subject a regular thing. Someday, I hope to be able to do that. What else is going on? My girls are almost done with their first in-person school year after the pandemic: Su is finishing up her freshman year of high school, and Lucy is finishing up elementary school. I know it sounds cliché, but the time really does go too fast. I wish there were some way to be able to savor it a bit more, but life happens, and pretty soon a decade has passed. And you barely notice it... I don't really blog about politics, because it's not an interest of mine, but I will say the political situation in America is looking pretty bleak. I will still vote in 2022 and 2024, because I think it's my civic duty, and I want to be a good role model to my kids, but I don't have any high hopes. I recently created an account over at TruthSocial.com, just to see what the landscape looks like for people with whom I vehemently disagree. The site is just a Twitter knockoff, but the political opinions are pretty much what you'd expect. All kinds of "Biden is a criminal" and "Let's take the country back" stuff. I probably won't hang out there a whole lot. Summer weather has begun here in Nashville, even though the summer solstice isn't until June. I wish I were able to enjoy summer like I did when I was a kid, but the hot weather just wears me out. My girls hate the hot weather too, so for the next few months, I'm pretty sure we'll be huddled inside with the A/C, except for when I go out running. I guess I'll be figuring out what my threshold is for hot weather running pretty soon. That's pretty much everything on my mind at the moment. I'll try to use this blog a bit more in the future, but we'll just have to see how that goes. Feel free to check out my other blogs from the menu at the top of the screen! Thanks for reading.
