A Grand Experiment Comes To An End

   I started this blog because I thought it would be a cool way to both chronicle, and discuss with others, my family's relocation to Colorado from SoCal. I posted sporadically for the first few years we were here and then made a New Year's resolution at this time last year to pick up the frequency.

   Specifically, to post at least once a day the entire year.

   And I did it.

   I got almost no comments the entire way through which is fine..but a little sad, I suppose. I touched on all sorts of topics though not surprisingly, given the goings-on in 2008, I weighed in heavily on politics, most notably the presidential campaign.

   My resolution to post daily was to force me to keep a journal of sorts. I have always had a strong memory but have a history of Alzheimer's in my family and fear tremendously the possibility of a day when someone brings up something we did thirty years ago and I can't remember it.

   So a journal has always appealed to me.

   However, it is exhausting feeling obligated to blog every single day. So that is going to end for now. Instead, when I see something compelling, whether it be serious or seriously funny, I will drop a line or 75 here and we'll go from there.

   Take care of yourselves, particularly in this challenging time we're living in right now. I hope your 2009 is a prosperous year!
