This is because I have made the decision to close the blog permanently. It was not an easy decision, but it has been one I have been debating for a number of months.<br />I tried to get back involved in it recently, there were a rash of entries every few days. As I re-read those entries I noticed my tone is irritable, annoyed, and even angry. I am not enjoying writing this blog anymore. I do not enjoy what I see from people who respond to posts. I do not enjoy what I see from people who use my posts to fill their own publications. <br />I have a new project to focus on. People I talked to about this idea think this new project would be relevant to my readers. While I agree, I have too many other things to focus on right now. <br />This post will remain up for at least the next year. It will probably be about that time that I can move forward on my new project.<br />Thank you all for so many great years and great conversations.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13645798-3735135497937497548?l=ah-um-er.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sara Markshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04110943310026761810noreply@blogger.com1
