Ten Months Notice

If you check our archives, you'll see this blog began in 2004 just before the Bush/Kerry election.  It was started by Pajama Guy himself, and I came aboard on his invitation soon after.  Pajama Guy left before too long, and ever since I've been this blog's mainstay.

I actually did it as a lark.  In the first few months I wondered how I could keep going--how will I find new things to say?  Once I realized you don't have to have anything to say, it got easier.

Since then I've continued this blog not only as a way of communicating occasional thoughts, but as something to force myself to write every day.  I saw it as an exercise to keep my writing tools in fighting trim.  (I think that's a mixed metaphor, but who's counting?)

For a while now I've been thinking it's probably time to move on (and perhaps some readers feel the same way).  If I haven't mastered blog writing by now, I never will.  So here we are, in another election year.  I think I've got enough left in me to stick around and greet our new President.  But after that, I may be done.  Certainly as a regular writer.  Maybe I'll still do some annual features, or drop in when there's something to say.

Anyway, I thought I'd let you know.  That should give everyone plenty of time to make the transition to something else.
