So Let's Go Nowhere

The Agony of Defeat is one month old today. That is one month longer than I thought I could sustain it.

When Adam Riff™ (then Child of a Lesser God) debuted in 2000, I updated once a month.

Now I estimate I spend 35 hours a week outside my day job working on this web site. What you see is deceptively simple.

The sidebar alone is a 12-hour project, or how I spend my Friday afternoons/nights. All other content is crafted daily like an episode of Saturday Night Live. I draft up 10-20 posts and then consolidate and refine the ones I like.

Some nights I'm up past 2:00 a.m. brainstorming better comments and editing words and sentence constructions that I'm not happy with.

Needless to say, I didn't need to adopt a third gig sifting through sports photos every day.

So it goes.
