It’s expected I’m gone.

OK, look. I tried to keep this going with photos and empeethrees and such, because Lord knows I just don’t have the words. And even so, it’s been more than a month since my last update. All I seem to do with this thing is drop in once a week or so and machete back the comment spam.

Maybe this just isn’t the time. A few weeks ago, just as we feared, we lost the baby that we hoped was on the way. Some people might care to blog about that sort of thing, and indeed many have. There’s nothing wrong with that, but it’s just not for me. The baby/parenting blog that we started has been taken down, and anything further I have to say on the subject I’d prefer to say to friends in private, rather than across the public web.

Of course, this particular venue has been sliding into moribundity since long before we even got pregnant. I don’t know; maybe I’m just not really meant to be a blogger. Or maybe this just isn’t the blog I want any more. Either way, I think it’s time to call this one. I won’t rule out the possibility of trying to blog again, but if I do it will be under a different cover, with some kind of different formating, plan, and intent. I’m looking forward to shutting this down and taking a real break from it, instead of just leaving it hanging and walking around feeling vaguely guilty over not posting. It feels good to admit it’s over.

I plan to leave this here with all the archive posts for the time being. To prevent it from becoming a comment spam sanctuary, I’m closing comments on all posts except this one immediately. 30 days from now I’ll close this one and delete the comment form target script.

You know where to find me.
