Okay, I let it die, but can I still be a victim? Twitter almost killed it (I had a brief digital affair) but I still blame FB.
Suffice to say, I’m not sure where the blog fits anymore into how I write or communicate. FB is a much more fluid and connected environment but it has it’s limits and distractions. Like, did I really need to tell DeeDee at midnight last night to wake up? Not sure on that.
Anyway, while the blog has been a great place to write and read about others thoughts and opinions I’m wondering if it will still be “the place” to do so. I complained all the time with friends and enemies that I’d rather discuss a topic over an ale than batter around [insert polarizing topic here] on a blog (these can also be called websites) but once in while a blog can be a great place to work through an idea. Granted it attracts quips and its share of jabs, but there have been some times when this may be the only place for me to talk through something.
So I’ve decided to reform This Old Drug House – which is what often should be done with old drug houses anyway. Since the kids are getting older and we’ve our share of schooling stories we’re going to focus on that. If I can, I’m going to bring Sara in on this. She claims she’s lost too many brain cells from having four kids but I seriously doubt that.
Stay tuned – or at least set your RSS readers to follow – and we’ll see what we can drum up that will be worth reading.
Peace all.

yeah, it does seem twitter and FB are killing blogs in general. oh well. bring on the kid stories!
balancing all three definitely exercises my focus, restraint, and dodging the evils of time suckage. depending where the interaction is seems to be where I enjoy myself the most (and right now the facebook high school memories seem to be taking the cake), but I applaud you and the kid story developments. They are fun to read.
Dear StElmoDad,
This comment is not related to your blog entry, but you took some very interesting pictures in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. I would very much like to know some things about these pictures. Could you kindly e-mail me at erzo_luttmer@harvard.edu?
I very much appreciate it.
Thank you,
Erzo Luttmer
