Been thinking a bit about this blog, and I recognized that there’s been several things lately that I wanted to write about, but didn’t have the time when the issue was still fresh.  (And yes, I know that sometimes that hasn’t stopped me, anyway.   But of late, I’ve been letting it stop me more.)

On occasion, I have discussed — sometimes at length — an issue raised in someone else’s blog in their comments section.  And granted, I probably get more people reading it there than I would if I just wrote here.   And as the situation warrants, I will continue to do so.

But sometimes, there are issues being discussed on other blogs that need a bit more than a conversation in a meta.  Other times, it’s just that I have to ruminate on the whole topic before I weigh in.  Hopefully, by the time I do weigh in, I’m not beating a dead horse.

I guess what I’m trying to say here is that I’m going to embrace my slowness.  And as a way of warning you that you may already be familiar with some of this stuff (especially if you read the same blogs as I do), I’ll be classifying such posts with a new category:  late to the party.  (I thought about changing the name of the whole blog to that, but thought that was a bit too self-deprecating.)

Now does this mean I’m gonna comment on every topic that comes down the pipe, just a week or two late?  Hardly.  I hope that I am offering a new angle on something, not just parroting what everyone else has already said.

But, nonetheless, you have been warned.
