Back After a Long Break

When I last posted to the blog in 2007, I felt that there was little point in continuing as my readership was abysmally low. Gaps in one's life usually require explaining, but I do not pretend to justify the absence other than to say that it was a low point for me. It is now October 1, 2010, and I am resuming after an absence both online and in print. Even if my readership stays low, I'll be posting from time to time.

My struggles have not ended. On October 4, I will be facing my ex in a dispute over the amount of child support I can pay. My income is limited to Social Security Disability Income, and even that is garnished at 60 percent, so I don't see how I can be expected to pay more, but I have little faith in the ability of courts to dispense justice as I have seen too often how it has not happened. Even King Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes about wickedness in the place of justice, so it's not a new concept.

So here goes, another try at blogging. It may not be for mass consumption, but I won't let that worry me this time around. I'll be doing it for myself.
