The Slow Lane: Why the name?
My blog is titled ” The Slow Lane”. It has nothing to do with holding up traffic on the highway. Rather, it is a phrase that seems to fit my perspective on many things and may be a relevant descriptor of my personality.
When I’m working on a project, I work slowly. I focus on the process and take my time to do it “right” as best I can. I tackle a number of projects of various types with a do-it-yourself attitude. Working on my own projects enables me to save many repair and improvement expenses.
I was advised once by my college professor, “If you are going to do something anyway, it doesn’t cost one cent more to enjoy doing it.” I’ve often been able to apply this advice when I’m doing something that’s difficult, dirty, or otherwise unpleasant. I usually enjoy the challenge or the accomplishment even if the process is not always pleasant.
Learning how to blog is a slow process.
