Can I blog on water?

Somehow, I doubt it.

If the miracles of modern technology allow me to blog while on a cruise ship, I will be surprised.

And so, dear readers, I'm afraid I must break my string of consecutive weekdays when this blog has something new. I'm hoping to continue to write each day, even if not to blog.

I find that what started as a self-imposed routine has now become a pleasurable habit. I find that I frequently have more than one topic I'd like to write about each day, and sometimes the one that gets posted is just the shortest one (because my time is still well spoken for.)

My hope had been that this blog would not only provide me another method of communicating with the people I know and love (or at least like,) but would also get me closer to the goal of actually writing something. Something substantial, that is. Because, after all, "Writing is writing." I'm surprised at how little time it's now taking to write something cogent each day. As I said in an e-mail yesterday "If I could keep this up, I anticipate I would build to a point where I would be compelled to write something big."

Still, vacation approaches, and I will revel in the freedom and the beauty. I will relax. I will recreate. I will indulge. I will enjoy.

And when I get back, I will blog.
