The advice for story tellers was to start at the beginning and carry on until you get to the end and then finish. The more I read the last post in the other blog the more it feels like the last post in the other blog. It just feels right.
In many ways this is a good time to stop it. The story's become harder to tell, for reasons I've outlined before, and to be honest my heart's not in it any more. These are dangerous times, as usual, but whereas in the past the taking of the risks added a frisson to the game, these days it's just another layer of boredom on top of the same old same old...
I think that's the top and bottom of it: I'm bored shitless with it all. There are fresh new challenges, which look all too much like the same old challenges not even dressed up to disguise it a bit. And the deathless dramas are the same old deathless dramas we've repeated oh so very many times before. There may be a different number of people chasing a different number of chairs but when the music stops it's still the same old parlour game.
So I think I'll stop it there. I may change my mind but until I do I'll put those energies into making a better fist of keeping in contact with the blogosphere than I have been doing.
I'll still be posting to this blog; it serves a different purpose again.

What horrors await us today?
The realization that only 43 days are left in the Biden-Harris
administration.
Isn't that enough?
Other than that bit of...

Well, just so long as you keep posting here!

Scarlet took the words out of my mouth.
I empathise somewhat for similar reasons. Should have stayed in Iceland. But can I have first refusal on your back catalogue of wonderful post titles? They entertain me beyond compare.
I'll miss it, Kev, but your words ring horribly true.
Boredom with it ALL.
Restructures, tears, anger, backstabbing, pointlessness, consultants' reports that lead nowhere...
And the thought that WE aren't going to see nice fat early retirements as others have done in the past...
I've been one of the silent ones over at the 'dale.
Don't really know why, as I do comment here.
But I understand.
And it doesn't do to upset Scarlet - you never know what havoc she might wreak with the wretched memory stick! ;-)
So you're going to stop blogging there but carry on blogging here? OK, fair enough. Just consider the hours you spend at work as a irritating but temporary diversion from the real activities of your life, which definitely include entertaining us here.
Wow, the wordver is 'bless'
Wow, the wordver is 'bless'
I am in tune with word verification code as 'bless' was my last comment of Kev's other blog.
How peculiar.

Hi Scarley! How you doing? Funny, isn't it, sometimes the word ver knows what to write better than we know ourselves - in fact, I've a mind to set up an even better word verfication system called 'le mot juste'.
Word ver: 'pidalay', hmm, nope.
Understood. Please stay on here though.
One thing about blogging is that it does give you a troubling glimpse of what eternity might be like - I've started and I'm enjoying it at the moment but how and when do I get off this thing; does it have an end or must I post forever and ever and ever and ever and ...?
Thanks all!
Webrarian: don't get me started on that one! (The pay cut takes effect this week.)
Madame DeF: I have a cunning plan.
zmkc: it ends when you've finished with it. ;-)
