You have no idea how hard it was for me to come back. I really enjoyed having the time to read some books, to get a few things done around here, and especially to just sit back and enjoy my coffee in the morning without a computer in my lap scheduling posts and finding news articles and other material.
So yeah, I'll be hanging it up sometime this year. I've been at it for 18 long years and it's gotten to the point that it's no longer enjoyable. Instead, it's become almost like a job, a job I don't like.
This isn't anything new, to be honest. I've been looking for an exit strategy for a couple years now, but any other time I took a break, I felt renewed, motivated, and looking forward to returning to stir up more shit. Not this time, though.
So when's it going to happen? Damned if I know. It may be a couple months from now and it may be at the end of the year. I will promise you though that when the time comes, I'll give notice. It won't be like so many other blogs when you go to the site and the blog is just gone. If it does just disappear, it'll be because Blogger pulled it, not my own doing.
Who knows, though? Like I was telling longtime reader and friend JD last night, I may just dump the news articles and continue to do a daily Good Morning post (I love those as much as y'all do) as well as gifs, memes and the occasional story about my younger years. Those are by far my most popular features anyway. We'll see how it goes.
