Prestats

So the entire blogosphere for January is looking bleak. The rail tragedy is having its effect on the dancing environment. And of course,  Caldwell  is making it worse. It's the bread, Fred. I expected it to get farther than December and  but what do I know? Town Dancer, our number one blog is down to about 180 average hits per day. And I expect to let is cruise downward. I have to work on the others.

Notice the difference between what happens when people say to themselves,

"I have failed three times," and what happens when they says, "I am a failure."

 

Honolulu Dance Guide which was once neck and neck with Oahu And Beyond is now way ahead of OAB at over 150 average hits per day. Whatever they are doing must be right because they are catching up to Town Dancer which is also falling behind.

Those are the top runners for the present. I know what we have lacking and I will do what I can. First we need the Information and Photo Contributors. Hard to find and they should do as they please. They are needed not only for present contributions but also for the possibility of being a Guest Author.

All the rest of the herd is at the bottom and two that are showing promise are Oahu - West and Central Valley. When we get those going, they will help carry the rest of them. But it will be slow going. Like all the others, the differences of opinions and the different favorites in photos will be factors. Hits will go through the roof. Someone has sure missed on the free computer in the side bar. Tough.

The bus calamity is getting worse so I cannot move around the way I use to. And with Caldwell in charge it does not look at all promising. The rail catastrophe comes first and the people be damned. It's the money, Sonny. The big bucks in profits.

For us older folks: Good news is that you can increase the density of your brain "forest" (hold back Alzhiemer's weed whacker) at any time in your life. Why? Your brain doesn't know how old you are - and doesn't care. Your brain just wants to be in a stimulating environment and that is something you can do at any age.

Reading, writing, crossword puzzles, playing board or card games, participating in dancing and playing music all may help to keep your mind agile and "dense." Even when you use to be able to take bus rides around the island.

Pub's Side Note: Some of the wheels in the dance community have to be dragged, kicking and screaming into the 21st century. I will not do that. If they do not want it they shall not have it. But the sign on the door I leave open still says welcome.
