If this blog were a car it would be coasting onto the shoulder about now and I’d be figuring out how far I had to walk to buy gas.
It’s gotten good mileage — 3,548 posts over 13 months. Close to 13,000 visits in August from nearly 6,500 different computers (IP addresses). That’s up nearly 30 percent over July. The visitors, who were from 58 countries, looked at almost 70,000 pages.
But it’s out of gas. Or at least I am.
So, you ask, “Whatcha’ gonna do?”
Trying to tough it out won’t work. I’ve been doing that too long already and it shows in the content. Besides, it’s a hobby not a job.
Quitting won’t work. In two days or two weeks I’d be starting all over.
So I’ll try cutting way back and posting only when I think I have something worthwhile to say or something of real interest to link to. Drop by on occasion; there may be new stuff here from time-to-time.
Don’t feel obligated. Do only what is fun.
Thanks, Ken, for all of the work (and the fun) that you put into this blog. This township of the blogosphere will miss you.
Ken, Your blog is unique in mix and appeal. We all appreciate what you have put into it. And we will all keep coming back for more, on whatever schedule you set. Thanks. peace, mjh
You said it: It’s a hobby, not a job. Just do what you want when you want, and we will keep checking it out to see what’s there. It’s always interesting and I love how eclectic it is.
Damn, are you getting a life!? Thanks for an always interesting, always entertaining blog. You owe us nothing, have some fun, re-tool the old engine. I won’t forget to check in from time to time.
Hey, it’s when the spirit strikes. Just do it when you want to. Do it for you.
You have been a real workhorse and the most prolific blogger here in NM: personally I never could figure out how you did it and wondered if you were really a team of at least three people!
Can’t say I blame you: I barely post daily on my site and even in your semi-retirement I suspect you will continue to work harder at this that I ever will.
Love your site and will continue to check it out frequently.
Take a well deserved break and then come back! What will the internet be without NewMexiken?
