The Blind Man Society

So, today is my birthday. I turned 51, and my friend messed with me so hard about 200 days ago, and so frequently every day since, that I had nothing left inside to freak out with when I turned this today! I call her Rubber Duck Woman, and did you know that in the USA there are over 1000 types of designer rubber ducks available? Right now I am feeling calm and thoughtful, just knowing this…

I’m sitting here thinking about the Worst Case Scenario Handbook. In this book you learn how to survive an elevator crash, what to do when encountering space aliens, and how to drive a limo to crash through an electrified fence to freedom. Conspicuously absent from this book, is how to write a great follow up blog post to my last one. I have been experiencing WICKED writer’s block after being sick the last two weeks, and am just getting moving again today! Maybe contacting the publisher’s suggestion box?

I participated in a jam session last night on the eve of my birthday. And, I did what I do best – make noise. Myself and the other members played for quite a few inebriated people, and just had FUN. Several guitarists, bass players and a drum machine rounded us out, and we were in the zone. Contrary to popular opinion, being in the zone goes beyond being pretty much guaranteed to be wrong with whatever you say to a member of the opposite sex. This zone, was everything just fading away, and there was only the music and the feeling of it moving us and them. Makes me wonder how many types of zones are out there…

As an update, I have contributing writers willing to do more stories, and I am maintaining ties with them while we reach the end of November, when more stories will be coming along from people other than myself. Though, I will have a few too!

I’m typing this fast. Which, in a car while a man is driving and refuses to pull over for directions, equates knowing where you are going. So, I guess I have this all figured out now. Where we go from here, well, the sky is the limit. I have received requests to do a follow up Backpacking 102 story, and please feel free to subscribe to the discussion topics links which ask for your ideas about stories you would like to see appear on the site. In this way, everybody remains in good shape, with short but poignant blogs that get to the point fast, and give you what you need or want to know even faster.

As a final note, coffee cups should be coming in December, water bottles are slated for January. I have a feeling that readers are on the verge of undefined fun for what is slated in December. For those who don’t know, undefined fun is SO MUCH fun, that nobody has ever lived to tell about it. However for our purposes, we’ll be pulling back the lever to non-fatal levels. 🙂
