Centennial

– There you go. What do you think?
– Impressive. What am I looking at?
– It may not seem much, but it represents a significant achievement.
– Excellent... And?
– And there it is. The hundredth post.
– Of what?
– Of this blog.
– Oh, right. You still writing that?
– Yes. I have written one hundred posts. Here they all are. Would you like me to read them to you?
– It's kind of you to offer, but perhaps not just right now. I'm sure I'll get round to them one day. Something to look forward to.
– Perhaps a few highlights?
– Are there any?
– Well, in a way. Perhaps there isn't much of a unifying theme to it all: no over-arching storyline. Or common thread. Or anything, really. You might say it veers towards being unstructured.
– Structure isn't everything. People make too much of it sometimes.
– Exactly.
– Sometimes it's better to just go with the flow. See where it takes you.
– That's what I was trying to achieve. I think.
– Although, having said that, it can give the impression that you're just making it up as you go along.
– Does it come across like that?
– It's not for me to say. Not having read any.
– Of course. But do you think it's worth continuing with?
– What are the alternatives?
– That's what I keep asking myself.
– I could draw up a few suggestions, if that would help.
– I don't know. Perhaps I should persevere. Perhaps this is my true calling in life.
– Really? Let me draw up a few suggestions. It's not a decision to be made lightly.
