blog changes and updates

I feel  badly that I have let my blog become non-existent...  My hope/plan is to backtrack through some  of  the highlights of  the past year and get events and such recorded.  Tonight I  changed  the settings on my blog too, making it a private blog.    I did this  so I can  be more open and  free in w hat I say.  Rather than treating this as a blog, I want to use it  as my journal.  We'll see how it  works.   I will try to back date the entries, so they will still b e in chronological order,  but I will probably make  some notation that it was written late - or may be  not...  I'll see  how it goes.
