The Corvallist

Knowing when to fold 'em...

It doesn't look like I'm going to magically be able to fabricate extra time this term after all. A couple of homework-intensive classes, getting the Corvallist kid registered and set up for high school and now the honor of being awarded a research apprenticeship for the remainder of the term... well, you get the idea.

I have tried to keep up with local news, and I sometimes walk around thinking, "Gotta remember that for the blog," but when it comes down to actually finding a free block of time to write? It ain't happenin'.

I had tried writing some lighter "fluff" stories as filler, and was reminded by a local citizen that I was now charged with tackling local issues. But the real meaty issues take more than 5 minutes and I'd rather write nothing than write poorly.

So, ciao for now. If I find time to breathe, I'll come back and post. Otherwise, see you this summer.

  • Well, I'm glad to hear you'll be back eventually. And just a brief note from you that X event of interest is happening would be good, too. You've told me about things I didn't know about before.

  • Well... I for one truly appreciate your (non-fluff) efforts on this blog. From the skinny on local politics, to info on dubious rental management companies, to just a citizen's perspective on the community at large. Of course, I've never lived there (been putting off "maybe, someday, eventually" moving back to the NW, trying Corvallis) so you could be making it all up. ;) The point being this blog has been part of Corvallis' growing appeal for me. Hopefully, I'll find out for myself in a week when I drive out to start looking for work/apartments.

    I'm also glad that this sounds like a temporary hiatus. Best of luck with classes.

  • Good luck with your time off from blogging. Sometimes a break helps to clear the mind.

  • Me again -- I'm so sad that you haven't been baited into just one quick post on the go-ahead and GT endorsement today for the Witham Oaks development.

    I'm quite curious to hear your take on it...
