Still mad? I hope not. Time wears on. What a life you've led/continuing to lead. Is my apology 11 years too late? Hello Stranger. Still mad? I hope not. Time wears on. What a life you’ve led/continuing to lead. Is my apology 11 years too late?

Thank you for the nice and encouraging words. Currently my sense is similar to the not-dead old man in Monty Python and the Holy Grail and the Dead Collector scene, "I'm not dead yet! I'm getting better...I <em>don't want</em> to go on the cart..." who then gets wacked after he starts singing about being happy. It feels like I could go on (and on) but there comes a time to just shut up already. Don't you think? Anyway, rather than closing the blog forever and padlocking it I might let it dangle on life support and poke it once in a while just to check its pulse. And in the meanwhile I'm considering opening up another journal, a new one, which will be equally entertaining (heh). I'll be sure to let you know where to find it so you can leave another supportive note there too! Your "epic friend" as well... Hey there John, supportive and kind as always.

You've maintained a consistent level of quality that is rare in blogging. This blog is a class act. Well done! So have you achieved a sense of closure? Or is this blog like life itself: as you near the end do you say to yourself "What the heck! Maybe just a little more!" Either way I remain Your friend to the end, John Dear Tori,

Congratulations on completing your year-long experiment. You’ve maintained a consistent level of quality that is rare in blogging. This blog is a class act. Well done!

So have you achieved a sense of closure? Or is this blog like life itself: as you near the end do you say to yourself “What the heck! Maybe just a little more!”

Either way I remain

Your friend to the end,

John

When someone falls, the rest of the peloton swings around the fallen person and reshapes the peloton....if they are in a race. While you're in a peloton, you always allow enough room on your right or left side so you can escape gracefully should the person in front of you fall. This is called the exit strategy, and every rider constantly reviews the strategy as a car driver is taught to look in her back mirror every few seconds for potential trouble. It's similar in life, no? Tori,
