There is a good chance that as the Presidential elections draw near the news will seduce me into doing some blog posts on that subject. I have also been aware of many things which have happened and developed in the first half of this year which did not get commented upon on in this blog. I am sure there is a lot that I will not get around to as my fifty-first birthday approaches and passes but I will likely do a bit more on this blog.
I have more or less abandoned this blog for a half of a year and let its readership decline after a rebuilding year. That is  partly a result of the fact that my life and work matter very little in all sorts of ways and partly as a result of really working on a novel about Jesus of which I have produced some copies for your review in more or less recent posts.
I also have lots of things that have been occupying my attention including a cousin who came to stay near where I stay, recurring problems with my feet, and being a little affected by a variety of  crises in my circle of family and friends.
I am still more or less of the same opinions I held a little while ago when I was blogging a great deal. I will check back sooner than later I hope.
