Why A New Blog?

• Because it's fun!
• Because I'm nostalgic for the depth of conversation, interaction, and community I enjoyed more than a decade ago. 
• Because I realized, while blogging on a monetized platform, that "what attracts clicks" and "what I am interested in writing" are almost entirely exclusive categories. 
• Because things written on Facebook rush away down the newsfeed and can't be found when I want to reference them later.
• Because I want to encourage my friends to start blogging again too!
