There were dozens of dolphins out that day, right up against the shore in the surf. Still, I had to shoot four hundred times to get this one, fuzzy picture.

So, I went to work on the archives and - heh heh - can't find them. I'll have to dig through dozens of discs. I will because some of the stuff is still relevant to the point of this thing. All the stuff about cancer, the time I went loony tunes, etc.
How many people with blogs let people they know offline read them? My blog was never intended to be read by anyone I would ever have to look in the eye, with the exception of those people I had met online, mostly through the blog. But the people in my offline world - friends, family - who ever intends that they see the kind of things we talk about in blogs like mine? It was intended mostly for me as therapy - I worked through almost everything via the anonymity of the web and the feedback of kind but faceless others. I would never have invited friends or family into my therapy and, had they been reading, the blog would have been useless to me in that ragard.
I ask because I have allowed someone I know offline to read the blog, if they want to. I rather doubt they will read it all, so they may well miss most of the worst stuff. But it worries me, people seeing me so naked in so many ways, people I will still want to have coffee with later on. It makes things unbalanced, that they can conceivably learn so much about me and I know almost nothing about them and it makes me wonder why I gave out the URL in the first place.
