The Eye of the Hurricane? Still waters run deep? Or perhaps you’ve been enjoying the pieces and bits of quiet over the last few weeks. Take a deep breath and read on, if you dare. I don’t often wax poetic or indulge in this kind of personal post. If that’s not your thing, you have been warned. And you are still welcome to stick around anyway! More than one person seems to have noticed I’ve not been writing as much over the last 5 weeks. So here’s the 411 on my whereabouts and various brief sightings mostly sans the fuchsia locks. I miss delving into the fun of the community and the challenge of making this site About Cambria: our entertainment and our issues. It’s hard to tell one from the other sometimes. There is almost always something happening in our little town: not a day can pass without at least one meeting, celebration, gathering, or club function to attend/support/ignore.
I think I’ve been missing the spark and energy of what happens when more than two Cambrians start talking or playing. Most days on the Google-based AboutCambria.com calendar are packed with many calls to assemble and share with our friends and frenemies some of our time and energy (insert image of horrified teachers here: rolling their eyes or in their graves….)
I haven’t been off at some writer’s workshop and I haven’t been purposely ignoring Cambria. I’ve been working my tail off for the 2010 US Census for the past 5 weeks.I’ve managed to squeeze in the time for a few meetings, but not much more than that. I’d be violating a very strict federal confidentiality law (Title 13) to write much about what I’ve been doing too specifically, but I have been enjoying the challenge (and extra funding) this temporary job brought into my life.
My position will be winding down over the next 2 or 3 weeks and AboutCambria.com will spring back into a more active life and I will be buzzing about town again very soon. If you have any ideas or events you’d like to share with the growing audience of AboutCambria.com, it’s very easy to join in. I encourage you to do so by joining as an associate member (click “register” down near the bottom of the right hand column), posting something for sale in the free classifieds or adding an announcement or a conversation starter in the forum. Of course, you are always invited to share your information and views by submitting a post for all to read and/or comment on. AboutCambria.com is still a place for the community to gather and share what they know and what they think. Posts have been infrequent of late, but I will be back in the saddle as Web Maven before the groans of “mixed metaphor” completely fade from our hearing.
Teaser: My next entry will be more along the lines of the old “Choose Your Own Adventure” book series from the 70s – with a simple word change from “adventure” to “cliche”.
