Larry Halverson: I've Been Thinking

Being the ardent thinker I can’t help but be, I think I know what you’ve been thinking (some of you, anyway):

1. Wasn’t this supposed to be a weekly communication?
Yes, I got sidetracked from this avocation by my vocation. I’m still shooting to get something of interest to you approximately weekly.

2. Isn’t a blog supposed to be two-way – a dialog?
Right again. We recently found that the “comment” area on our site was locked out for most readers for the first several days of this site’s existence. To anyone who tried, I apologize. Please try again.

3. What if I want to make a comment, but not for public dissemination?
All comments come directly to me, then I post the ones I think will be of interest to other readers. But, if you don’t want your comment posted, just say so. I may quote or paraphrase you, however, with attribution to “anonymous.”

4. Another question on the nature of this communication medium -- isn’t a blog (a contraction of “web log”) supposed to document one’s travels around the web, sharing amusing sites, tidbits of knowledge gained and whatever else the blogger finds of interest?
Boy, you’re good. That’s the question I had when this idea was originally proposed. But, I don’t have a lot of time to wander the Net. So, we decided I would build a framework of issues and views (all relating in some way to retirement) with the first several postings, then tack on some web-based content later as I find time to find it, all the while letting you, the readers, provide web link references and whatever else you have found that is of interest. So, I’m betting on you to come through for me!

Later.
