A Fond Farewell

After much internal debate, I’ve decided to take down this website. The fact is, I’m working more than full-time in the news business and it’s been harder and harder to make the time to blog.

I’m embarrassed to note my frequency of blog posts has dwindled from two or three a month in 2016-2017, to a half-dozen last year.

If every person has a story to tell, why haven’t you written yours? In some form or other, I get that question a lot.

Yes, I’ve always worked for other people, writing and editing their stories and helping them polish their professional reputations by adding “author” to their résumé. The projects are interesting and I really enjoy the creative collaboration.

One of the houseplants that seems to love its new surroundings in Central California is the Christmas cactus seen at left.

At first, I chalked this up to being “back home.” I purchased the plant a few years ago at a grocery store in Carmel Valley, Calif. Just before Christmas, it was the only one left on a big holiday display. It looked sad and droopy, so – with my, ‘I can save this!’ attitude – I bought it for $5.
