Paralysis

September 23, 2002

All hell broke loose in my life a month or so ago. Confusion. Chaos. Topsyturviness (yep, it’s a real word). Mass hysteria. You name it…

I have a hard time multi-tasking under even the most ideal of conditions, but with so much going on at home and work I’ve been in a state of paralysis when it comes to the Tiny Pineapple Web site. Blog entries ceased. E-mail has gone unanswered. A planned redesign remained undone.

Now, in an attempt to return some semblance of sanity to my life, I’m coming back to the site. It’s something over which I have a modicum of control. It’s something that makes sense. It’s something I can do.

There have been a few changes. The “Web Site Architectural Overhaul & Total Redesign Task Force” has experienced a “resource reallocation” and has been rechristened the “Web Site Minor Tweak Group.” We got rid of some superfluous graphics, did away with the image pop-ups, and simplified things a bit.

We’ve also added a number of new and updated pictures to the Tiny Pineapple Gallery, including “A Good Wagon Load,” a 17th century English engraving, and a shot of the famous Dole water tower.

As for the 419 e-mail messages that sit, unanswered, in my In Box…I just don’t have the time or resources to respond to them all. As awful as it sounds, I’m going to have dump them all in an archive folder, call it a loss, and start with a clean slate. I apologize to all those who have written in the past few months, especially those expressing their sorrow at the passing of Radio Free Tiny Pineapple. I appreciate your taking the time to write and I’m very sorry for not returning the courtesy.

I’m a bad person.

Thank goodness I’ve still got my looks…
