Closure, of a Sort

Yesterday's milestone (admittedly a minor one) of 2,500 posts is of significance only to me. I've looked back over the last few months' production and note that I'm writing less, and linking more. There are plenty of other bloggers who have elevated the "linky love" thing to a fine art, and one more or less won't make that big a difference.

I'm going into semi-retirement, meaning that I'll write if something grabs my attention - almost a certainty in an election year, especially this election year - but otherwise will hold my tongue fingers.  I'll still be reading all my favorites every day, and will continue to comment as before.


In closing, there's this:
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.  (Philippians 4:8, NKJV)

Vaya con Dios, my friends. See ya around the blogosphere!

Aw, amn..What is it with you Alaskans? You write great blogs, get everyone else hooked, and then just...

But ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Drop in and see what Murphy's up to when you can, and any posts you put up will be appreciated.

We'll miss Alaska updates, but as long as you promise not to go completely away I guess we understand.

Alaska...I left something there and someday need to go back and get it...

Rev. Paul said...

Thank you all. I'm contemplating perhaps a weekly digest of all things Alaskan, with a bit of political commentary from time to time. We shall see.

MaddMedic - I hear you. Once you've been to Alaska, you never go all the way back. It has a way of holding your heart. :)

You'll *always* be on my blogroll!
I've been posting less, too, something which happens when we have a launch campaign going.

Hey, it's a hobby. Do it when you enjoy it. And we'll be here when you have something to say.

An occasional post is cool. I'm not feeling the desire to write very much myself currently. I've only pulled off 270ish posts. It comes in spurts for me. When it does it's fun but when you aren't feeling it, it's a chore. I suppose if I was paid well to write I'd just slug it out but I'm not. Just keep a presence if you can. It's all I'm doing these days.
