Some reflection

My blogging discipline seems to be related to to things. The first is "financial and job" stress. I have never been much of a stressed-out type. But I notice that I blog much more when I'm sailing along in life. Recently we've been having some financial difficulties and I haven't been blogging...

Secondly is simply my interest level. I've recently been hanging out on some Roleplaying forums and made some new local friends because of it! But it means that down time at work is no longer blogging time.

A few things (will it be three? I'm not sure)

1. Librarything.com This site is da bomb. It's been called Myspace for book lovers. Put your library online. Get suggestions from others with similar tastes. See the new thingy at the side!
Here's my Catalog.


2. Anyone a member of OrthodoxCircle? It looks worthwhile, but I'd like to know what the traffic is like. Do the boards get much traffic?

3. Like a murder of crows, time flies. My baby son, Paul, is FOUR! I can't believe it. Cute quote of the week (said to our younger priest in after chuch meal chit chat}: "How come you talk about he Yord [he can't say his "L"] instead of Rock and Roll?" Father's response, "Well Paul I talk about all kinds of things. I am a priest so I should talk about the Lord. So should you." You've got to see him play air guitar with his rock and roll sneer to really get this one.

Yay. Three things!

Oohh, book stuff. Cool. I'll have to check that one out.

I'm not or OCircle. My college aged daughter is a member and I told her I'd give her some space (for now!). I've seen talk of it around though. I don't know if I want to go to a place that only allows Orthodox. Seems a bit too much like segregating ourselves from the world.

Cute story about your little one. My baby is 5.5

Oh, forgot - let us know if you join and what you think. Try to find the Legodox Cathedral. I think its pretty cool. A friend from my daughter's parish made it and posted it on his OCircle site.

I've not checked out Librarything.com, but I'm off to do so.

Yes, I'm a member of the Orthodox Circle, but I'm very bad at it - I never post anything.

Happy, happy Birthday to Paul! Many Years! I love the story of him and Father!

Thanks for the librarything.com. I shall have to bookmark it and check it out.

I am in the Orthodox Circle. I'm never on the site nor have I taken the time to blog on it. One blog is enough to take up my time. I don't need two. I'd say, save your time and post on Oxwoms and here.

Just my 2 cents

Technically I am a member of Orthodox Circle, though I do not blog on it... I do the blogging stuff on my 'blogger' site
