When you can't even make the cut on a shitty looking literary link aggregator, it's time to call it quits. At least, for now, the literary/book side of this blog is pretty much done. Hell, I can't even find five minutes to read anymore, so it's no wonder I haven't found the time to find something to write about for Syntax of Things.
It's been fun. Five years is a good run. Nearly a million in page views. Not bad. That's about 900,000 more than I ever expected.
Who knows, maybe I'll let the dust settle here for a little while; maybe I'll get the itch again and come back better than ever.
But for now, it's probably going to be silence, with the occasional birth/toddler announcement, and maybe a post or two about something that really pisses me off, like shitty looking literary link aggregators.
If you want to join the Fans of SoT mailing list, the email addie is somewhere on this page.
Until when...
Nooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, wait just a goddam minute. These bastards didn't include me either. But I'm not closing up shop. I have it on good authority that the people behind the Book Trib fornicate with dead animals. Are you going to let this get in the way of blogging? Do we have to storm your home with pitchforks?

Stop that.
Now come back to the computer and write something. I don't care if it's about books or not.
DON'T LOOK OVER THERE. BACK HERE. EYES ON US!!!

But, you know, there is always a new season coming. I hope you'll be back, but enjoy your relaxation (hah, okay, you're probably not getting that either) while it lasts.

Well, you got me to come here from the RSS feed on Bloglines.
I thank you (and some friends above) for your posts but understand if you need to move on. Either we'll meet back here or in the real world. Thanks again.
(Did we all once go through this before? Like lots of times? Or am I dreaming?)
At least put up pics of the kid(s). (People come to my blog only for the pics, not for the crappy prose.)
