Post The Plague

 For almost 582 days of the COVID plague I kept a Facebook post blog, focused on my own thoughts, doings and local observations. I called it a Chronicle because it was patterned after the old monastic chronicles of the Dark and early Middle Ages. I had no intent or interest in a journalistic or footnoted history, simply a record of my point of view. It was followed by many of my friends, though as the pandemic subsided and people made it off their couches and backyard lounge chairs the following declined. It made sense when all of us were stuck at home and as the restrictions fell away with vaccinations, so did the readership and frankly my own motivation. 

So on June 15th I wrote my last post and put it to bed. Well, one post script a day later to cover things missed. And it was a wrap. I suppose, as I had before with a previous blog, it was my way to process a very strange and terrible time. 

Now that time is over. 

But to be fair, while the topic ran it’s course, I miss the process of public journaling. So I may try to restart here. The reality is motivation. To write I need a reason, and clearly it is not to eat. The day job handles that. I have kept this blog for many years, yet rarely post here. Perhaps I shall try to stick to it this time. 

Let’s see.
