I saw Mamma Mia a ways back with my lovely wife who dragged me there. She’d already seen it 3 times by then so I figured it had to be at least decent. Plus I grew up with the music of ABBA so I knew I might like it. There is a song in it called “slipping through my fingers” that is not only catchy but a downright tear-jerker. The mom (Meryl Streep) is having trouble letting her daughter grow up. I can relate with this these days. My kids are 1, 3, and 10 currently and sometimes I watch them or hold them and feel that same sentiment. I’ll be 40 in less than a year and I feel a lot of things are slipping through my fingers. How do I deal?  One way you can read every day.  Oh, and I hug them a lot.

It’s been almost a full year since I quit reading RSS feeds.  It got way too out of control and for me it was just more clutter in my daily routine.  I have to say that my getting out there to read my favorite blogs has definitely stagnated.  I used to make my “rounds” daily and now I am lucky if I can get to my blogroll once a month.  As any blogger knows … time management is golden.

I’ve learned a lot in the last year that might make RSS feeds a better bet.  I’ve prioritized my goals and set goals in the direction of CAN, my self rating system.  I’ve also learned more how to identify a blog worth putting on my “to read” list.  So I’m gonna go for it.  If you are on my blogroll you can bet I’ll be stopping by more.  If I haven’t commented much lately. my apologies … we live, we learn.

As for those not on my blogroll and the other ones out there in the blogosphere I have yet to discover.  I think going back to RSS feeds and Google reader will have some “pioneering,” “discovery” qualities that will introduce me to more greatness on the web.  Do you read RSS feeds? I know some people don’t.  I’m interested in your input on this new(old) direction I am taking.
