Life 2.0

Two years ago today, I flipped through the standard radio stations on my way home from work. I was going through a 70’s kick of sorts. The Eagles’ lyrics, “We make it harder than it has to be. And I can’t tell you why,” came through loud and clear. I sang. I pondered. I was moved. At that very moment, the lyric simply immersed itself in the passenger seat next to me for the car ride home, buckled in and turned up the volume. I’m not being blunt here. It was the day I decided to ask for marital help.

I remember this because I started to blog about it, writing this post two years ago today instead of celebrating a wedding anniversary. I never finished it, so I never posted it. But the remnants stayed in my “blog ideas” folder. All irony of the date aside, it was the beginning of the end.

Fast forward the digital tape. Although the new blog has been a bit neglected as of late, the essence that spawns the tales is anything but. Life 2.0 is working out a few glitches in the matrix, but the new version is streaming along quite nicely. And it is illustrated quite beautifully that today’s date means very little in this new momentum forward.

So, date acknowledged. Done. What’s next?!!! Ah, yes, Wine Festival weekend. Awesome! This is going to be fun.
