Possible Blog Entries

Wouldn’t you know that when I’m home and don’t have Internet access, I can think of a million blog entries to write and when I do have wi-fi access and some time, I can’t write anything?

Here are a couple potential blog topics that have been ruminating in my brain for awhile.

Songs that Bring Back Memories
Rules for Blogging as Clergy (or Clergy Spouses)
Rules for Driving in LA
How to be a Cat in a Household with a Baby
Irritation at Bloglines Shutting Down

Going Home Again

I’m in San Jose for a whirlwind trip to my parents’ house and it amazes me how things in the old neighborhood change. The local Greek Orthodox church has a Montessori school sharing its facilities, the library is now new and high-tech with a gym, meeting rooms, and revamped community center, the playground is now muchly expanded, and new shops have replaced ones that I remembered being there for 20 years!

The neighborhood has changed as well. Longtime neighbors have moved away, those who were kids when I left for college are now getting ready to leave for college, and the houses look different.

San Jose has even changed. The malls look different and the routes to places are all switched around.

It’s disorienting in a strange way.
