On Having Nothing to Write About

     One of the reasons why I waited so long to start a blog was that I was afraid that I would run out of things to write about.  Is it okay to write about nothing?  It is still writing, still practice, isn't it?  It reminds me of Seinfeld, I never really liked the show exactly, but I got why it was funny.  It really was about nothing.  It was also about everything.  There is a reason that it was so popular and survived for so long.  In one way or another, it touched everyone.  It must be a good feeling to create a show that you eventually have to step away from.  It wasn't cancelled.  They actually had to decide that they weren't making anymore more episodes.  They were able to write their own exit.  That is the kind of project everyone wants isn't it?  To have a project that is so good that no one would ever dream of telling you to stop.  Oprah has that too.  It seems that everything she touches turns to gold. Everyone she sticks out her neck for, somehow succeeds.
     I've been having trouble charging my laptop, which is at least 6 years old.  I've started saving things to flash drives and pulling of as much as I can in an hour.  That is all the time I have until the battery runs out.  We are never really sure if it is going to charge again.  We are trying to get the pictures off so we don't lose them. My digital camera rocks.  It is really easy to use and you always know what you are going to get.  It doesn't mean that I can keep my pics any better organized than all those prints in the three boxes in the cabinet under the end table.  What a mess.
     If you had one hour to get everything off of your computer before it crashed, what would you start with?  Usually you don't get an hour, do you?  I keep telling myself that I am going to back everything up immediately.  Remember when I said I was a procrastinator?  Well, it isn't a very good excuse, but it's the truth.  I blame it on my laziness.  When the computer is working, all is right with the world.  When it crashes, look out.
