Happy Blogbirthday!

Six months ago** to the day ‘Ocean’ was born. And here it is, with a new look* and a bouquet of irises fresh from the Market to commemorate the day.

I have loved the rigor of posting frequently. I have been inspired by the posts and comments of others. I have fretted through dry spells and rushed, pushing aside anything in my way, just to post while an idea felt hot (or at least lukewarm).

A few days back I said I would revisit the slant of the content and assess where it is that I am heading. My decision is to keep it loose and uncommitted. I have no introductory description and I want to keep it that way. There are no links, there isn’t even a blogroll. That may change in the future, but for now, I like the clean and simple look. Uncomplicated. Because everything else about each day is so horrendously confusing, that visiting this blog should offer relief from clutter. It’s an invitation to browse, rather than dart the courser.

And ultimately, if it’s not in some way entertaining, then it doesn’t deserve the reader’s time. That, then remains the goal. For the next six days. Maybe six months. Maybe longer?

*The blog is forever indebted to F for his patience and suffering yesterday as he helped this technologically challenged blogger redecorate ‘Ocean’ (“no! no! too bright! Tone down that yellow!....oh, that’s way too mustardy, how about a touch lighter? Can’t you change the link color? The nickname? The size of the font?” on and on and on..).

**UPDATE: Even though it has been said that students decide on law school because they can't do math or science, that was NOT MY reason for selecting the legal profession. Indeed, after a rigorous Calculus program at my Polish high school, I went on to become an Econometrics major. I have no idea why, then, I could not count well enough to recognize that January 2 - June 2 is five months and not, as stated here, six. Happy five-month-birthday anyway.
