Yes, it’s true. I’ve retired the blog.
Wednesday, January 28th, 2009Well, I’ve been long overdue in posting this final post. Partly ’cause I didn’t want to put it out there, but I’m done. Due to some rather unexpected and major life changes, I’ve had to retire the blog. In fact, it gets worse. As of a couple months ago - I have moved out of the Village and am now living in a different part of Portland for the first time since the late ’90s.
I’ll still be around from time to time, since Jr. V is at Maplewood and I’ll be participating in activities with him at school whenever I can.
As for the ‘blog - I really enjoyed keeping it going for the years that it was active, and enjoyed getting to know my neighborhood and its residents in a way that would not have been possible without this site. I’m keeping it online for history’s sake and keeping the domain name. If you’re interested in taking over the site, I might entertain that possibility provided the spirit of the site is maintained and it doesn’t just become a spam-link page.
It’s been great. To quote the dolphins, “Goodbye, and thanks for all the fish.”
