This week my online activities were limited. I didn’t post anything on my online religion or Kabbalah books blog. I also decided to stop posting on my Jewish Social Media blog , although a few short entries were made this week.I realized that posting alone there the blog cannot be comprehensive: there is o way I could post about everything that is happening in the Jewish Social Media world. A community of contributors could do it, but I don’t have the time/energy t make that happen. Without that the blog at best can be only representative. That may have some limited value, but may not be the best contribution I can bring to the web. I hope that posts that reflect my own thoughts, beyond pointing to other people’s ideas and activities, can be more valuable to the public. So I will focus on that. The blog will stay up and I may post to it every once in a while but I released myself from the pressure of posting once a day or every time I come across something related.
On the other hand I want to keep up my local blog about/for Forestville as nobody is doing that. (Lots of other people are doing Jewish Social Media.) I posted announcements about a new line of products from a local company (lactose free yogurt) and three events this week: a horseshoe pitching tournament, an artist reception, and a a concert.
On the personal side I’ve seen three movies: Youth in Revolt, The Runaways, Karate Kid. I also did quite a bit of thinking and research about what kind of new computer to get, but didn’t purchase anything yet. Monday I wrote my monthly column for the shul’s newsletter, Tuesday I attended the board meeting of the Synagogue, Friday we went to the park and participated in a Shabbat potluck with a group we never met before. Twice this week we managed to go to the pool. We had fun, but the water was still cold. Saturday, on my birthday, we went bowling, stumbled upon a free hippy style concert in a park, went over to the neighbor’s who was having a party, had sushi for dinner (courtesy of my MIL) and then a German chocolate cake at home with more family visiting. I posted pics of our daughter and our garden every day this past week.
And the picture of the week of me at the bowling alley:
