I’m finding more and more that I want to post less and less on the issues that you read on this blog. I know I’ve said it before, but it feels like this time I really am nearing the end of my political blogging days. There are many, many others in the JBlogosphere (with much larger readerships) that cover what I used to cover, as well or better as I’ve ever done.
I used to feel so utterly wrong about not posting every day that I’d backdate a post to fill in a day if I forgot. Now, I just don’t care.
I think this blog may be heading towards its final days. It’s been a long ride–thirteen years April 22nd, an anniversary that I forgot–but I think it’s time I moved on. I know all three hundred of my readers (if I even have that many any more) will be disappointed, but I’m more about the fiction than the politics these days, anyway.
Do what is best for you. I don’t know about others but it was the words and not necessarily the subject matter that made me continue to read what you wrote. If fiction is stretching your writing muscles more, go for it!
As one of your faithful fans, I will miss your daily response to the constant attack on Israel and the Jewish people by the rabid Anti-Semites, and by the hypocritical left wing that should understand what is at stake. I do understand how you feel, exposing yourself to this hatred on a daily basis is exhausting and you do need a break from it. Good luck on whatever you decide to do, hopefully, you will one day come back and share your insightful thoughts with your fans.
