What a Good Day

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 7:23 PM

What a good day it is when you can just spend some time reading a good book by a Christmas tree. That's what I did today. I probably should have done some work, since OfB has suffered in the last few months while other more pressing jobs took priority, but I didn't. Instead, I spent some time reading Soon by Jerry Jenkins, the co-author (who does all of the actual writing, IIRC) of the Left Behind series. It's a good, fast paced novel, and it's kind of nice starting from scratch rather than building up on what he's been writing since Left Behind in 1995.

Also, I did some cleaning up of my blogroll. Josiah moved his blog awhile back and I updated the link so that I could see when it updates again. I also removed two blogs, David's Journal and Jake Rinard's Journal, both of which appear to be (at least temporarily) dead. If either of you two are reading this — please let me know when your blogs resume normal publication so that I can add you back. In the mean time, this at least temporarily satisfies my urge to have a shorter blogroll (I like too many blogs, as it stands! :-)).

This is my second blogroll cleaning spree, actually. A few weeks back I removed Ciaran's Journal (since Ciaran has moved over to a private “LiveJournal” rather than his public journal that I could link to). I hate to see the blogs go — although it certainly makes things easier than deciding to remove a blog that's still live. How does everyone reading this deal with their blogrolls?

I know what you mean about liking too many blogs.

RE: What a Good Day

I envy you your time by the tree. Me I have a huge blogroll - most of it not on my site. But I plan to do a bit of a clean up myself in the new year. I will probably be off air for the next few days, so in case I don’t get a chance to say it later, God’s blessings to you and yours over this Christmas season!

I don’t like removing people, but recently I have gotten pretty good about it.

RE: What a Good Day

I guess I just say, have I been there in awhile? If no, have I just forgotten or become bored? If bored - zap, unless the author comments on my blogs regularly. I usually get bored because it updates once every couple weeks or is very sporatic and/or doesn’t address my interests.
