where I am


not "What I Am" (much too large a question and/or statement (as if "where I am" is that much smaller)) though I did interview New Bohemians bassist Brad Houser (two days into his 50th year today) not too long ago.

physically I'm home in Long Island City, New York, not two days removed from a 12-hour commute back from a 10-day (or so) vacation in Pawley's Island, South Carolina.
but I'm also rather in a fog.

momentum for my two primary projects - an oral history of those who have lost jobs since the start of the recession and an oral history of 49 year olds - very much in evidence the day before I left for South Carolina, has waned a bit (even though I conducted three interviews while on vacation) and that's my fault, if only because I spent so much time, so much effort trying to get to a stopping place (in order to treat the vacation like an actual vacation, if not exactly for me then for those around me) before I left that I'm not exactly sure where I'm supposed to pick up.

which is not an ideal time to begin a new blog.

but everything (everything) needs to kind of come together, despite the fact that keeping up all this new media stuff (Twitter and Facebook and blogging), is a full-time job in and of itself, I suspect.
so now we've got the e-mail addresses all lined up and the Twitter address all lined up and the unfindable Facebook page all lined up and a reasonable attempt at a blog address all lined up.

so here we go again.
