Final Post

The time has come to draw this here blog to a close.  I find that I am no longer writing things of great importance or significance and simply struggle to put something down on paper every night.  Perhaps it is writers block, I don't know.  I have done this for a long time and it just isn't doing anything for me any longer.  Over 20 years without missing a day, that is an accomplishment I guess.  Granted it is difficult to read the handwritten journals of the first 15 or 16 years but whatever.  We'll call it writers cramp and it is just time to be done for a while.  To those who faithfully follow these ramblings - thank you!  Sorry if you've grown attached and look forward to a daily dose from the Family Fountain.  Maybe I should have slowly drawn this out so you could ease of it like, well, drugs I guess.  No, we're going cold turkey.  Maybe I'll start another blog in the future that will capture random thoughts when I feel so inclined to write.  I could title it the ramblings of a burned out journal writer.  So to all I bid farewell, this is my final post. 

I should not close without giving some thanks to my children who have been my inspiration and have provided much in the way of material for this here post.  Have no fear children, life will go on without the blog.  I should also include an apology to my posterity, sorry this is all of me that you will have.  I hope what I have written will be enough to paint a picture of who I am and what I believe in, that the messages I have shared will influence you for good in some way, shape or form. 

I remind all in closing of what the Dread Pirate Roberts said to Westley each day before retiring.  "Good night, Westley.  Good work.  Sleep well.  I'll most likely kill you in the morning."  And with that I wish you all a happy April 1st.
