I remained active for about six years. At the time I shared personal content with a very small group of family and friends. I posted two or three times a month. The material ranged from \"Kurtoons\" (personal opinion\/editorial art) to surf travel, running journals and finally, a lot of family highlights. The old blogs still exist at Blogger.com. Occasionally I will feel a sentimental tug and do a quick \"deep-dive\" back into a place forever ago. My journaling will never fire up the masses \u2014 but that was never the point. It was always a simple, personal opportunity to connect and share.<\/p>\n<p>Today I am recommitting myself to blogging.

I thought this could be an appropriate first share.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kurtisidea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/SUNFLOWERsm.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-963 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/kurtisidea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/SUNFLOWERsm.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/1000;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I first began blogging in 2004.
