Simplify. Simplify

Thoreau wisely surmised, "Our life is frittered away by detail ... Simplify, Simplify.." And so I have (and so I shall). My weblogging frenzy, invading my habits like a virus, began only a little over a year ago when I was searching for a way to continuously add news items on a website I was building. Though I knew of weblogs well before that time (I even had a gasping one in 2000), I never had much interest in them until I discovered their allegedly spectacular business use. I created weblogs for every facet of life, every turn of the screw shall we say - newslogs divided into categories, a blog on books, a blog on events in NYC, blog, blog, blog. But I seemed to have greater love for creating blogs than I did in contributing any material to those blogs, particularly to blogs that actually require original content (like this one). So in an homage to Thoreau, I have thrown over all but the most necessary blogs - the blogs without which I could not be (ha!) - in favor of a simpler sugarpoet.

In another line of Walden, he advocates taking in one meal rather three. That must have been the fumes from the maple syrup taps or something talking.
