No, because they're not allowed here. All both of you may have been wondering why it's been more than six months since my last post. It's unexcusable, I tell ya. But there just hasn't been time.
You see, blogging is not merely writing for the sake of writing. Blogging is writing about something. There's a theme, a reason for a post to be written. I could write about laundry if I chose to. And it just so happens that I'm doing a load as I write this. But blogging about laundry would be pure, clean...boredom. And I never bore either of my readers.
The honest truth is that Eric's Planet is as random a place as there could ever be. The beauty of randomness is that it could be quite entertaining, or it could be as boring as waiting for jury duty. Around here, we try to make random...fun. Where else can you read about amusement parks, chronic disease, public transit, and work issues in the same place? Right here on Eric's Planet.
I've managed to reach the ripe old age of 58. Senior discounts are coming my way in droves. (Not exactly sure what a "drove" is, but it sounds reasonable enough to use here.) Getting up there in years means even more material to write about. I'll get there. One day you'll stop by and there will be so much to read that you'll slap yourself upside the head and think, "There aren't enough snacks to eat while I read all of this!!!" That's OK. You don't need them. The snacks, that is.
As I mentioned before, a lack of time has been a problem. Lack of a computer doesn't help, either, but my tablet or phone can suffice. Tonight I'm using my phone for the first time to write an entry, and it seems to be working out just fine.
The main reason for tonight's post is to let you know that while things are creeping along around here, they are moving and there's no need to find a defibrillator. Life on The Planet is A-OK and will get back up to speed ASAPish.
