Hi. It’s me…I’m back.
Not really the Central Scrutinizer. But, especially when whispered, those words always remind me of Joe’s Garage…a Frank Zappa classic.
After a nearly three year hiatus, I have finally managed to get my shit together and update our blog to a near-current state of existence.
Outside circumstances, lack of internal motivation, unfinished drafts, unedited photos…life in general. A long list of factors that all contributed to a lagging behind in blog posts that seemed to accumulate and stretch out further and further.
Considering I don’t own my own phone, don’t even have my own current email account, have never had a Facebook account, nor a Twitter account, certainly not a Truth Social account, I think it is fair to say I’m pretty old school…maybe Neanderthal would be more accurate.
Suffice to also say I am definitely not privy to the etiquette, protocols, or established acceptable norms of blog posting regarding the passage of time.
I am far too anal and too much of a slave to OCD to leap forward, fire out a current blog post, and just leave a massive gap in time. I also didn’t want to simply shut the whole blog down and call it quits. A bit of a quandary.
Eventually, I decided that the multitude of partially finished posts really required nothing more than a dedicated effort to complete. On the other hand, the slow process of wading through everything, sorting it all out, and filling a number of gaps into some sort of coherent progression proved, in reality, to be no small task.
The end result? Two dozen or so stories that catapult Exit’s blog almost back into the present. Well…maybe not quite the present; but, at least finally on the correct side of the Pacific Ocean. Closer to the present, anyway. Kind of like a simultaneous three season release of not one of your favorite series.
To our friends and family, sorry for being such a slacker. You know what we’ve been doing all along anyway. To anyone who feels I am somehow violating the rules of blogging…fuck off, I guess. Shit happens.
This is the Central Scrutinizer. We take you now to………..
