What's the story?

A Used Book Store in the French Quarter. It was closed on that early morning in June, when I was out shooting pictures, but someone had leaned four books on the doorstep. I wonder what their stories are? Well-worn favorites that the owner wanted to share with the next fortunate reader, or just ordinary doorstops?

   I’m here. I’m blogging. I started like a house ablaze a while ago, and then I saw something shiny or  busy with grad school and other things, and neglected this but another year has gone by and I am going to push-start it again.
   I am not promising much in the way of regular writing  or deadlines- or even much of interest to the masses. In sort of a stream of consciousness, I plan to write about  the most ordinary things like backroads and graveyards, great love and baseball bats,  good music, quiet moments,  keeping score, getting the shot and taking a chance.
   I will probably share more than you want to know about things that may not matter too much to you.
   Once in a while, I might stumble across something that catches your eye. And you are more than welcome to hitch yourself to my wagon and come along.
   Meanwhile, forgive the typos and rambling you find in the posts on this blog. Consider it  just a dime-store diary tucked between the couch cushions, to which you have found the little tin key.
   And if you want to read more about this blog, please visit my first entry to this forum. There is a way to subscribe or sign up or commit - but if you don’t feel obligated, I won’t feel guilty when I lapse into that whole “picture- worth-a-thousand-words” concept and sluff off on the writing once in a while.
   But sincerely, I thank you for stopping by. If you like what you’re reading, come back and visit.  I’ll be around.
All my best,
Diana

    And another thing...

    As I set these lofty goals, and say that I really am going to write here once a month, I am already figuring out how i can "submit" some of the papers I write for school - book reviews, biographies of music writers, etc. 
    If you don't care for something, or if we don't see eye to eye politically or philosophically, it's okay.  Just take out a book and read silently or go clean out the garage or something.  This blog - is an outlet for random streams of consciousness and trivial pursuits.  Thank you for indulging me all the way to the fifth page of this site.

    I am going to start this list of my favorite blogs in no particular order -(okay – maybe alphabetically), and add to it regularly. Starting with my friends’ blogs – and those  I read regularly.  As I go along I will add strangers’ blogs.  I will try to track my wandering and share what I find along the way.
    But you are going to have to do your part too. Send me links to your favorite backroad blogs.
    Coach Stacy Fowler: The most upbeat fitness guru and buddy I know. She’s in it for the long haul!
    Pat Conroy: Sometimes I just want to virtually sit at his desk for inspiration.
    Jenni Finlay : daughter of dreams. sister of songs. champion of both.
    Susan Hanson: Her version of life.
    Joe Nick Patoski: writer, historian, Texan.
    Mary Mikel Stump: A Hand Upon The Latch.  
    Janice Williams Loves Austin : Title pretty much says it all.
    Susan Wittig Albert: Notes about writing, landscape, and life in the Texas Hill Country
