New meta-blog and meta-meta-blog

Okay, I agree with others who have said that there is no reason to blog about not blogging. I am now posting at least one entry a week, which might not be a torrent of information, but does at least mark this as an active blog. However, my goal remains to post quality content every day. One reason is it would be unfortunate if I embark on the next portion of my trip before bringing the story up to Minneapolis. Another is a couple people (primarily the couple who raised me as a child) do remark if I fail to update.

To prevent further pollution of this blog by a morass of excuses for missing a day or writing poorly, I have created a new blog Kevin's little blogging excuses, where I will speculate on the probability of a new blog entry being written up that day, and at least offer some lame apology if I fail to update.

When I got that site up, I realized that there was a problem. What if I don't update Kevin's little blogging excuses as well or often as I should? So, I set up the blog Excuses excuses where I may or may not apologize for the "little blogging excuses" blog.

Now, I admit to being a little worried about what will happen if I have trouble with that blog. If necessary I will have to petition blogger to allow an infinite progression of meta-blogs.

Hello!

Hi everyone,

I have been negligent in keeping up with some of you for the last month, as I have been dreaming and planning for some time of taking a long float trip, starting in Calgary, and ending somewhere far away - perhaps St. Louis or New Orleans.

I plan to put-in just beyond the Calgary Weir, in Pearce Estate Park, around 7:00 am. Sunday morning - that's tomorrow.

I don't know how long this trip will last or anything that will happen - it might last a day, or five months. I am taking a laptop, so I may be able to blog along the way, at kevinfloat.blogspot.com. I may also be taking a cat, and a bicycle.

As you can imagine, I still have a lot left to do, but I hope I can at least keep some of you informed by telephone or email as I go along.
