summer is just not my time for writing

Of course I become more and more emotional every day about the Deepwater Horizon disaster which will be ongoing all summer.

Meanwhile, I have been outside constantly doing summer things, since it has been so nice since March 1st.

So my journal is where I've been posting, not here.

I still want to write an article about what bothers me about the style of news reporting now and recently.

But I am still organizing my thoughts about this, so even if I were in the mood to write here instead of be playing outside constantly, I'm not ready to anyway.
