Why aren't you blogging???

At some point with doing this blog, I came up with an informal set of rules, one of which was to never write anything negative. It produced a big delay on my blogging as I sorted out what I was capable of saying about WAR, the Washington Area Roadskaters as a club, both positive and negative.

I enjoyed discovering the club. I enjoyed joining and contributing my time and resources as a board member. It was great fun promoting the club and rebuilding the membership records from scratch.

I also enjoyed leaving the club. It was very liberating. Now I can go skate and not have to worry about making all the people who kept placing their demands on me happy. My free time is finally my own again.
