I bid you all adieu

10,005.

That was the number when I checked statcounter this morning for 'unique visitors', however they categorize unique.

10,005 which is funny become it comes very close to my 1 year anniversary, I'm about a week away - give or take.

So, 1 year, 254 posts and 10,000+ visitors. Not bad if I may say so myself. Along the way there have been a few 'lame dogs', but for everyone one of those there was also a 'best in show'.

And with that in mind I'm here to announce it's all come to an end. I'm pulling the plug. No more.

Blogging tends to be very much, a one-way communication. I write something, you read it and it ends there. This has become very apparent to me these past 2 months when I was in Costa Rica. Yes, sure there are the "comments", but they aren't really a conversation. I think if you were to survey all the bloggers, my guess is less than 10% actually blog just for the sake of writing. After all, if you didn't care what people thought of your blogs, you could turn off the comments.

As it is my blog is a bit of a reflection of myself, or at least my sense of humor. It doesn't lend itself to a discussion of the weightier issues - gun control, abortion, religion, euthanasia and all that kind of light party chat, at least not in it's current format. The kind of issues that get the "Richie's" of the world all worked up into a lather!

So maybe I return in a different form and maybe I don't? Only time will tell on that.

Until that question is answered, thanks for tuning in!

Chuckster out.
