I'll never be an A-list blogger
10/19/08
I write this as slowly crawl down the ramp at the parking garage from the fourth level after todays Argos game so it will be a short article. I am resigned to the fact thay I will never be an A list blogger. Merlin Mann says so. The reason? My blog doesn't have a theme. Merlin says I should pick something I am passionate about and make it the subject of my blog. My problem? Too much passion. I see something, or hear something, do something or an idea will pop into my head and I just have to blog about it. Some might suggest that I just can't focus on one thing. This hypothesis I reject.wholeheartedly.
One quick clarification, Merlin didn't actually speak to me, he was speaking about what makes a successful blog on the CBC radio show Spark.
Another quick clarification. Only the first half of this post was written on the parking lot ramp, the second half was completed in my tent on the Bruce Trail where my Explorer troop is spending the night after completing a 22 kilometre hike today. I didn't do the whole hike because the last time we did it the strain on my middle aged knees was so much that they hurt way to much at the end of the day.
I finish this posting content in the knowledge that though I'll never make the A list it doesn't matter. I write for myself, if somone stumbles upon my blog and enjoys it all the better.
For those interested here is a map of my hiking route from Caledon East out and back.

So, what part of the Bruce trail did you hike and how much of the 22k did you do? On Saturday we did 12K through the Hockley valley, from Dunby Rd down to Hockley Road (which included the Glen Cross side trail). Both boys actually managed to make it the whole way without assistance.
We hiked from Caledon East along the Caledon trail, the Explorers continued on to Glen Haffey Conservation area. I returned that night after the afternoon Argos game.
