Did you know<\/strong> that last Thursday was the fifth anniversary<\/i> of this blog? I\u2019ve been diddling with web sites for slightly longer<\/a>, but my very first entry<\/a> made with an automated posting tool<\/a>. Blogging these days is so widespread, so taken for granted, so clich\u00e9<\/i> that it amazes me that only five short years ago it was a curious fringe activity that was a little embarrassing to explain. Time sure flies when you’re trailblazing a minor media phenomenon, eh?<\/p>\n

Of course, long-time readers will surely realize that I don’t put quite as much energy into the site as much anymore. Once a thought crystallizes during tea and toast in the morning or during evening chit-chat, It’s not as interesting for me to hash it out again later. I have my flashes of pith, but I don’t work out ideas in writing as much anymore. This could change at any time, of course, but it’s the way things go right now. Don’t abandon me yet, though: here’s still plenty of scandal and sass to read in the archives until my muse knocks me upside the head again. (And I guarantee that not one of you has read everything<\/i> that I\u2019ve buried in there.)<\/p>\n

Thanks for all these years of playing along at home! Rock on!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
