2293 readers later.... I'm outa here!

This post ends this blog. It doesn’t however end my blogging days. Through the comments and emails I received (and a couple of job offers too!) I was encouraged not to quit ranting. For those of you that visited daily and enjoyed this farce into the psyche, thank you. I’m glad I was able to make you think occasionally and smile even more often than that.

For more rants and raves please tune to:

After many naming tries (it’s not easy coming up with a new name with all the blogs out there), I settled on Opinionated S.O.B. in Tn. All three parts fit me to a T. It may not always be a daily blog but several times a week at the least. There you’ll be able to keep up with Chrissy and when Aliya comes into the world.

For my fictional side, I’m going to be publishing a novel that I wrote several years ago. Friends and proofreaders have been the only eyes to see it up until now. So on this page I’ll give you “HER”.

I invite you to join me on either or both of these pages. This blog has been fun at times, horrid at others. I remembered a lot about myself that I’d forgotten. Thanks to those that dared me to do it 3 months ago.

Thanks to Chrissy it was a pretty good day. I’ve said before and will say again that any day you can spend with friends is a good day. She and Patty, Jim and Bobby managed to keep me pretty much occupied to the point of not thinking a lot about what today starts. Good laughs and fond memories of other days made the day worthwhile.

Birthday E cards played a part in putting both a smile and a disappointed look on my face this morning. I won’t share the sentiments here of the one from my better half other than it was very surprising. The one I didn’t receive that I expected to kinda disappointed me. I thought it would be there. Oh well...

Thanks guys for a good day. You made the start of the 2nd half century bearable.
