End of an era

Things have certainly gotten crazy here the last few weeks. Blizzards, floods, Flizzards, work, appointments, work. You name it, it’s came up. It really put me to thought about the time and effort that I’ve put into this blog. From it’s infancy a couple years back dealing with the happenings at 2607 N Washington St., to it’s adolescent years with “New From Da Hood”, to being all grown up with “News From Da Crib”.

I’m not sure at what point it was, but I realized some time back that this blog isn’t a normal “update the family and close friends website or share pictures and funny little stories”. No, this blog is worldwide. In fact, several Google searches will return results that point you to the blog, which amazes me to some degree that someone in South Africa or Germany could type in a word or two into Google and stumble onto the site, find it interesting and continue to follow it. Not saying that it has happened, but it could.

At some point you need to stop and look at the current state of things though and realize that a decision needs to be made and in the best interest of all parties involved I have decided to retire from the blog world. It wasn’t an easy decision by any means, but one that I’ve resolved myself to and feel that this will allow me to pursue other interests and spend more time with my family. The kid is growing up so fast, it seems like just yesterday it was 6 months from being born and now here we are less than two months from it’s birth!

I know, I know…… Stunning news to many of you. I’m sure most of you are running the gamut of emotions right now, anger, fear, sadness…. Maybe even happiness. Feel free to take a moment now and collect yourselves. Ok, that’s enough time for you. I want you all to know that life will go on, the sun will rise tomorrow and you’ll find some other meaningless blog or website to fill up those 8 to 10 minutes a week you spent reading this.

I did contemplate just cutting back on the number of posts per week and running a skeleton blog of sorts, but I think I would just be doing all of you a disservice, so it’s better to end it in one fell swoop.

Thank you all for your patronage the past several months!!!!

Oh yeah one other thing.........
