In my mid-October post, "Let's All Go To The Lobby", I wrote about taking a break, about having lost relevance. Some things had come up; I needed to pay careful attention to them. For the most part, that work has been accomplished. Now, it's the start of February, and I'll be returning to the blog. The intermission is over. I've a new mission for this space.
Henceforth, the Typhoon Johnson blog will be an online journal exploring my relationship
with my children, R and M.
This new direction is the right thing to do, for many reasons - which I will not expose here (they're matters of the private heart). And, I realize, it'll be a place where the children can interact, post, comment and get involved as well. That, you see, will become a part of the Typhoon Johnson blog's new mission. Maybe, just maybe, we can capture some of the magic that is our interaction with each other.
There is an elephant in the room here, and I will address it this way: the blog will not be spending time on C's personal life. She has asked in a number of ways for more privacy; I will be granting that. It is now not my place to expose the details of her life either intentionally or accidentally.
That, my friends, is why Typhoon Johnson is now a Category 3... smaller, more compact, quieter/calmer in some ways. But still full of vibrancy and energy.
Now watch us go!!
