So. After many years in the 1980s and 1990s and 2000s when I researched, managed, and built the Jim Carroll community and the website …
For many years, many decades, I managed “everything” JC.
But then at some point, I couldn’t.
I have been unable to maintain the CatholicBoy.com website to my standards, or anyone else’s, for longer than I care to admit.
I first launched this website in January 1996. Post-launch, I updated with every detail as I learned it, and I updated the entire website every year, because HTML was changing by leaps and bounds. Every year I would rebuild the entire website.
Sometime around, I’m not sure . . . I’m guessing some time not long after 9/11/2001, I wasn’t able to do it anymore.
I am just starting to learn about why I have not been able to sustain it.
I just learned, at age 60, that I have ADHD. I thought ADHD was boys bouncing off the walls. I had some of those in the classrooms I grew up in. Now I know it’s not just that.
I have just started learning about this. I will try to share what I learn.
I want to dig deeper. You?
I want to share many many many stories. ADHD means you can anticipate explosions of lots and lots of detail . . . then lots of nothing . . . (oh, wait, does that sound familiar?)
