We've been flirting with the idea of knocking off blogging at post 5,000, sometime next year. That'd be seven years of blogging in all. Which is not bad. The late Kathy Shaidle always said keeping your blog going was the greatest challenge. It is. At this point we're thinking, mission accomplished.
It's not that we don't like blogging. Blogging gives us a sense that we're getting off to a good start and building the momentum toward getting a lot of stuff done during the day. This blog gradually morphed into one longer post about various subjects, often with a personal update. We like that too.
Still, this blog has never accomplished what we wanted. We begun in 2015 so we'd have something to do in the afternoon deadtime after teaching. We know how that worked out. This blog has only shrunk from its autumn 2016 highs. Sometimes we can't help but feel the energy expended on this blog might be better used elsewhere.
We don't write for military history magazines anymore either.* We've published about a hundred magazine articles, but after a while we decided we couldn't get much more out of the exercise. Why not put our energies towards something else? That's one of the reasons we wrote Pershing in Command.
Baaaaah! We swipe at the air and drink from our goblet of grog.
*Actually a piece is slated to come out this month, but we wrote it years ago. And who knows what those...individuals at Decision Games are sitting on. We've no idea.
