Some folks just know what to say, don’t they? They can sit down and natter on about “stuff” – they call it “small talk” and I am lousy at it. I mean I can talk about the weather, I can ask questions about the person in front of me and get them to talking about themselves [probably everyone’s favorite topic, neh?], but if those two things don’t work?

Blogging and/or writing letters is even tougher because you can’t get by with asking questions and nodding encouragingly at the right intervals.

I thought I was going to write about polyamory today because the Same Time Next Year came up in a conversation, but the thoughts got all convoluted and twisted and there wasn’t a clear beginning and no end and that didn’t work. Sometimes the trigger is a quote or an article or something that happened during the day. I could write about the 22 minutes it took me to get this month’s Medicare billing questions answered, but don’t think that is very interesting. So I decided to write about the need for a trigger and thought I would finish it up with a picture of one….
Er….. don’t think that was QUITE what I had in mind, but hey, it kinda sorta works here, doesn’t it?
