Boring posts; excellent weekend.

[cjsmith]

Wow, when I don't bother to post the boring stuff I really don't have anything to say. I'll be musing on that in the near future.

In the meantime, here's some day-to-day stuff. I had an excellent weekend: a touch of square dance calling, some random socializing with square dancers we don't see often, a Scharffen Berger factory tour, and a day in Napa wine-tasting with wooddragon while rfrench walked with us and joked with us and very graciously acted as chauffeur. Man can I spend money in Napa... but the wines and the Wine Spectator Greystone Restaurant are SO worth it.

I never find your posts boring. I love having a peek into a slice of CJ-life. Plus, you're a fabulous writer.

The weekend sounds lovely.

Aw, thanks! It always seems to me that if there's something truly near and dear to my heart, then I won't entrust it to LJ, so that means all you hear about is me being stressed about work or going to call a dance or something. Or, well, getting my car totaled. That wasn't boring either.

boring, near & dear

wow. what to say first? I had thot of saying "boring
to WHOM?" -- which I think has now sorta been covered
already.

But THEN you said the thing just above about that you
DON'T write about what is really near & dear to your
heart. And, on the one hand, well, duh, of course you
don't, everyone has some things that are simply too
personal or too raw/recent. But, on the other hand,
pretty much everything you write seems (to me) to come
from such a heartful/thoughtful place that me first
reaction is SHOCK. I mean, sure, *I* don't write about
what is nearest & dearest -- but YOU? I thought you
were the example of openness that I could contrast
myself against...... oh well...... um.....

You make a good point that I am very open about a fair number of things. When I've got something too personal going on, I tend to think of myself as not very open at all, but even at those times "hiding" isn't the whole picture. I am generally happy to write about most things.

I can tell some thoughtful introspective posts are coming. Timing will depend on when my subconscious is done and when I have time to type. :-)
