I haven’t written anything about the Virginia Tech murders because, first, I haven’t been writing at all, and, second, because everyone else on the web has been blogging their minds out about the tragedy. I thought at least one person ought to just listen quietly. Besides, what can I say that others haven’t already said, except pray for the victims, their families, and the family of Cho Seung-hui.

The People We Want to Blame
Tuesday, April 24th, 2007Roll Call
Monday, April 23rd, 2007For the last six months, I’ve considered where I’m going with this website, what I’m doing with it (not a whole lot), and whether or not I’m going to maintain it in the future. When I started this enterprise, I had great ambitions for the site, the blog, and everything else, most of which have not come close to being realized. Sure, a large part of the problem is my own procrastination, but another part was the question of what I’m trying to do and how effective this blog is at accomplishing it.
Along the way, I’ve received a lot of encouragement from several individuals. Even now, I’m reluctant to shut the blog down completely. I’m still struggling with several issues relating to this blog, and writing in general, and I don’t want to make any rash decisions.
So I’ve decided to do this: I’ll restart the blog and continue it until July 1, 2007. I may make some changes in the website and the blog and I may not. It just depends on how much time I have in the next ten weeks.
Meanwhile, I’d like to do a roll call. If you’re reading this site, post a comment here. It doesn’t need to be anything fancy, just a quick note saying whether or not you’re finding anything of value here. In the end, it will help me decide whether or not to pay the web hosting bill when it comes due.

The Fisherman
