Although the people who regularly read this blog (all four of you) are close friends of mine and I’m not shy about talking candidly with you about life in general, the fact remains that some people with whom I have less-personal relationships could pretty easily find this website. It’s not that I wish to be rude to them or exclude them, but surely they understand that just as there are appropriate places and times for certain topics there are also appropriate relationship contexts for certain topics.
In any case, I’ve seen a couple of other people get burned by the wrong people finding their blogs at precisely the wrong time…so I’m going to be proactive here and protect some of my more personal posts. Don’t worry, if you run across a protected post it’s probably just self-absorbed whining. Most of the substantive things I post about (politics, technology, history) will naturally be unprotected.
With that said, anyone who wants to ask for the password to view protected posts can email me (hint: If you don’t have my email address, hit up the “Pages” menu to you right and click on the “Contact” link). Chances are if I know you and we’re friends or casual acquaintances, I’ll be more than happy to share the password with you. If I’ve never heard of you EVER, probably not - but feel free to ask :)
If I work with you or you’re a family member, you can go ahead and ask but please be prepared to be told “no” and please don’t feel too badly about it. As I said in the first paragraph, some topics of conversation just aren’t appropriate for some types of interpersonal relationship. Translation: I can’t talk about embarrassing things with my family and I can’t gripe about work to my coworkers (and potentially my superiors).
So that’s that - got it? Cool.
