My Latest Hangup

I've been gone a long time, and I've missed being here. But I think it was only in a moment when I was letting my mind wander, unrelated to blogging, that I realized why my desire to write hasn't translated into a real post as often as it used to. I was sitting and thinking…

Adult?

I suppose that I should accept the adult things I'm starting to have to do in my life. Adulthood always seemed to far away and distant, and I didn't mind that. And then one day it was suddenly tapping me on the shoulder, and I ran like the wind.  Still am, I think. But in…
