Blogger's Remorse

Last night's post was merely an old article from my previous blog -- revisited, reviewed, re-edited, revised, re-linked and republished. That's the downside of blogging, at least for me. Sometimes I literally cringe when critiquing old posts ... what was I thinking? Where the hell did that come from? Was I on drugs at the time? WTF? I often want a do-over. Meaningless post that one, I know, but a story that I recall finding amusing at the time, and a post that I remember finding quite enjoyable to write. Fast forward a few months, and forcing myself to deconstruct previous work, I decided to put this particular post under the knife for some nip and tuck. Just a self-assignment, really, to go back in time and make over what was no longer pleasing. No plans for a re-release whatsoever, just a simple writing exercise. Well, I certainly won't be doing that in the future, I'll tell you that right now. "What's done is done" is my new maxim going forward....
