In direct contravention of my wife's explicit instructions, herewith I inaugurate my first blog. Long may it prosper.

For some reason, I think I have something to say to you. You think you have something to say to me? Email me at: gideonsblogger -at- yahoo -dot- com

 
I guess I'm not telling my readers (if any are still checking in) anything they don't know when I say this, but I'll say it anyway: this blog is currently on hiatus, in limbo, and otherwise inactive.

It's partly that I haven't had the time, and partly that the whole form - me spouting off to the world about my puny little opinions - has become profoundly unsatisfying. Ridiculous, actually.

But I miss it. I miss being "part of the conversation" - I miss particularly the give and take with my few, cherished readers.

So I may be back, once I've figured out a way of doing this (or something like this) that still makes sense to me.

In the meantime, don't bother to check in daily or weekly, and stop hitting the refresh button. Check in every couple of months if you want to show extraordinary loyalty; if and when I start things up again, I'll either do it here or I'll mention here where I'm doing it.

And thanks, for all your attention and the insights you shared with me, over the past five years that this blog has been active.
