last go-round?

closing a second month with just two or fewer posts. this puts me one behind averaging four per month. that hasn't happened in more than 10 years.

that said, while it might not appear i wrote a lot, i did get a column out and a couple of posts on a site where i suspect this blog is headed.

earlier this month, searching for something about this blog site, i hit upon a post that this blogspot site may die at some point.

i thought since this was a google-owned property, my work here would be safe, but this host appears to have become a red-headed stepchild.

so, i've begun making active an old wordpress account that i started more than five years ago, in the hopes of giving the blog better legs.

meantime, i'm going to have to start migrating my old work to what i'll probably call "grumpnet classic" or "grumpnet archive" to keep that work and documentation from dying.

we'll just see. this has been a fun site. some of my best writing and the seeds of some of my best writing found a home here. it helped me stay active writing through inspired moments, as well as long stretches of dreck.

i honestly hope this host doesn't die and that my work as it was originally created lives on as a digital record of this part of my life.

i've always hated goodbyes and i feel like i'm setting a part of myself out on an ice floe into an unknown ocean.

i appreciate this forum and the folks who worked hard to make it what it was. i'm sorry the platform fell out of favor in the name of progress and compatibility.

thank you, blogspot, you were awesome.

a no-hitter

managed to go a whole month without blogging. but i did get a newspaper column and ideas for writing, so it’s not a total wash.

meantime, trying not to work myself to death before our vip comes to call in a couple of weeks. pulling multiple all-nighters like i haven’t since finals week in college. don’t know why i’m getting so worked up over it aside from wanting to make a good first impression.

it’s time for bed.
