This Circuitous Route

I've been having a heck of a time trying to figure out where my new public persona is supposed to live. Since changing my name and trying to abandon the lacadaz internet handle I've parked blog names on Blogger, Wordpress and Tumblr. I've even messed around with iWeb. I'm still having issues figuring out just who I am. Why is that? Nicolas says it's another midlife crisis. Funny, I don't feel like I'm in crisis. I just feel a little unsure of my footing. It has been one of those crazy years. It's like when I tried to go through every single growing up rite of passage the night I graduated from high school. I've moved back out of the city, gotten married, been found by my father, added all this new family into my life, changed my name, lost the job I was thinking of keeping for the rest of my life. Change has been the name of the game this year and sometimes it has felt like the ground isn't quite solid.

Anyway here I am, under my own, real, original name, married to a South City girl, living on the peninsula. It has seemed like a circuitous route in many ways lately. I had thought about using long strange trip but apparently that phrase has been taken. Anyway, this here is my new corner of the internet. There is a companion site on Tumblr under the same name. This Circuitous Route. I was going to use that to log what I'm reading and getting a kick out of and so forth.
