the state of the blogion

When I originally started this blog pre-Lima the intention was to pass on interesting things I found throughout the day.  I did it for a bit, but didn't tell my friends as I wanted to wait until I had a good quantity of stuff.  For a few years several close friends had been pushing me to start a blog...not sure why, but I always fended off their suggestions.  Interestingly, I have always maintained that I don't like to write and I can't say I particularly enjoy it now either.  However, there was something about finding interesting stories and moments in Lima that I enjoyed and I enjoyed trying to convey the moment back to friends and family.  Now I find myself in an interesting position with a blog, no real blog topic (ie I'm in Lima for 3 weeks let me blog about my life)...after all the life of an engineer is a bit mundane, but for the first time in my life I have somewhat of a desire to blog.  I think of it similar to working out I guess where after consistently working out for a while one misses it when they can't do it.  I don't even consider myself a particularly good writer, but somehow it's fun.  Anyways as a friend pointed out I need to find the same moments in Concord that I saw in Lima and manage to make them interesting somehow.  So here's where the next road begins...
