So Long, Farewell

I feel done with my blog. I can feel an inward gravity pulling me in and away from writing for an audience. I feel an urge to limit outside communication and a need to work on the stories sitting in my brain.

Writing for an audience is one of the things that I've loved so much about doing this blog. I've appreciated how many of you have told me you like reading my posts, and I've always enjoyed the comments you've posted.

I'm thinking that it's time someone else picked up the mantle. We can do a serial blog, like those progressive dinner parties of the 80's. I've done the appetizer, now it's time for someone to serve up an entree.

In case I'm just in a mood, I'm leaving my blog up for a week or two, but I fully expect to delete the whole thing from the ether.

So, thanks for the insights, the commentary, the camaraderie. Merry meet, merry part, and merry meet again.

I'll miss you. It was bad when you left our congregation; now I shall lose you into the ether.
Live well. Love much. Success with your next venture. Namaste'. MES

Thanks you guys. Plus, MES, I'm only a phone call away!

Now what am I going to do to wake myself up at work in the middle of the afternoon? If I take up caffeine, it's on your head;)

Christ on a cracker! It's not enough that you sometimes make us wait DAYS for a new entry, now you're going to abandon us all together?

I come late to this blog only after answering a request by you to volunteer for a worthy theatrical cause.

I greet your "So Long, Farewell" with "Hello, I love you, won't you tell me your name?" from the Doors. What a wonderful thing you've done here. I've been totally engaged reading your words that echo so many of my thoughts.

I respect and honor what you've done here, and I look forward to reconnect with you and share future adventures together.

It's good to meet you again for the first time!
