Meanwhile, there is a sort of June gloom outside that everyone once in a while breaks into a stream of sunshine. But it&#8217;s in the 70s and who is going to complain about living in New Orleans when the weather couldn&#8217;t be better (except for more sun). <\/p>\n<p>The Transracial Parenting blog is under construction and I mean that literally. Something went haywire and we&#8217;re waiting for it to get fixed and in the meantime, there is still a lot to do to make it ready for prime-time. So I read two famous bloggers to get an idea of what they are doing and instead of leaving me depressed about how successful they are and how unsuccessful I am, I actually was inspired by their posts. One of the bloggers is <a href=\"http:\/\/dooce.com\" target=\"_blank\">Heather Armstrong<\/a> and the other is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.penelopetrunk.com.\" target=\"_blank\">Penelope Trunk<\/a>. They both dispel the notion that blogging will get you anywhere when in fact it got them everywhere, so why take their advice? <\/p>\n<p>For me, I&#8217;ve been content to work out of my office, sitting instead in the dining room since my need to be tethered is great and with my partner gone, I have to have access to the kitchen, Tin and my laptop 24\/7. But this is the beauty of it all &#8211; outside my window &#8211; gliding over the bayou is this beauty who could care less about blogging, success or anything that does not smell fishy:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.dangermond.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/69408_10151131279561537_591091564_n.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"17284\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.dangermond.org\/?attachment_id=17284\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.dangermond.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/69408_10151131279561537_591091564_n.jpg?fit=960%2C767\" data-orig-size=\"960,767\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"69408_10151131279561537_591091564_n\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.dangermond.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/69408_10151131279561537_591091564_n.jpg?fit=640%2C511\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.dangermond.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/69408_10151131279561537_591091564_n.jpg?resize=300%2C239\" alt=\"\" title=\"69408_10151131279561537_591091564_n\" width=\"300\" height=\"239\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-17284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.dangermond.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/69408_10151131279561537_591091564_n.jpg?resize=300%2C239 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.dangermond.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/69408_10151131279561537_591091564_n.jpg?w=960 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m trying to reach sources on a Friday, usually this is the best day, but today you&#8217;d think that they were all out at recess or something funner than trying to reach them.
