Signing Off

I owe you a better farewell than my last post, so this is it.

My writings here came from a place of joy. At least that was my intent. When I strayed, it wasn't often or for long. The continuing exhilaration of TTWD and the friendship of so many like-minded colleagues motivated me for 19 years with a few breaks along the way.

This goodbye will be the final one. My joy is gone. I will leave this blog in place as a museum for seekers to discover or the nostalgic to remember.

It was good, this thing we did together. This blog once attracted over 12K reads a day. I had fans who eagerly awaited my next words and expressed disappointment when I skipped a day. A loyal readership is the desire of every writer. Blogs were eventually eclipsed by real time social media and the crowd moved on. Still, I felt as though I had something to say, so I did. I never tried to monetize MBS and I never made a dime. I also never spent a dime, so all I invested was my time and effort. At the end of the day, this venture breaks even, and that feels right.

Best wishes to all of you. I greatly appreciate your support.
