Some of my friends and family who are not able to visit Santa Fe often asked me to start this blog so that they could keep in touch and see some of the things that are going on here. I agreed to do it—I actually thought that it would be a lot of fun. I didn't realize how much work it actually is to blog.
More importantly, I just have not placed myself on a "blog schedule" so most days go by without a new post. I have lived in Santa Fe for over ten years and now realize that the steeze culture has truly rubbed off on me. I rarely do anything that requires a definite schedule—times are always "ish" and it seems that the entire city operates this way. Since everyone here (newbies not included) lives in the land of mañana we all accept this relaxed and, in my opinion, quite civilized and stress-free existence as the norm. It is a habit that I fear is now impossible for me to break although I will try to start posting more often.
Why the change of heart? It is actually a combination of things. First I did promise the few family and friends that read this blog that I would keep them informed of what I am doing in Santa Fe. Second, I bought some new gear to make the blog interesting (pocket vid camera, etc.) and it would be a shame not to use it. Also, the last two days have been rainy and much colder (low-mid 70's F) so I am coming to the realization that summer is really over and it is getting close to the time that I will need to move indoors and reminisce about the summer's activities. Most importantly, I still believe that this could be a really fun project and need to embrace it as part of a daily routine.
The dilemma? I feel that I don't have anything to write about. I had a telephone conversation that changed my mind. I was telling a friend in Michigan about some of the summer's events and he was actually really interested—go figure.
So I will start the new posts as a item by item recap of the last couple of months and maybe a few current things too. Sorry if I seem like a slacker to some of you—it is just the Santa Fe steeze.
Hopefully I can learn to use my words.
I will end with a vid of some kids who don't have any problem using their words. Thanks to Rich Juzwiak at fourfour for the clip:
