Goofballs!

Only I and other select members of the human population would title their last entry "Goofballs!".

But it quite well embodies what the way this blog has been sliding. That's right. I'm copping out and shutting it down. Technically it's an "indefinite hiatus", but we all know what that means; it acts mostly as a sloppy backdoor in case I ever post one or two words within the next fifteen years. 

Theoretically I could have just let the entire thing die very slowly and have people come up, prod it with a stick, look morose, and slouch away. Not only would that be difficult for me, but it would probably waste seconds of people's lives that could really be put to better use, fixing dryers or shaving your neighbour's dog or what have you.

I'm not listing individual thank yous, because then I would have to live with the additional guilt of singling out people for special treatment and omitting others for whatever reasons, and nobody reads thank yous anyway. Suffice it to say that I'm grateful for and surprised by all the comments and support I've gotten. It's been a decent run; I'm glad people enjoyed reading what I wrote. I even like a few things I've written here myself.

I'll be sticking around to read, but I doubt I'll write any longer. The blog itself will stay up to remain a nuisance to Blogdrive, to preserve what work I've put into the layout and content, and to be a testament to my former virility. Literary Viagra ... now there's a thought ...  

So thanks for coming out, everyone, and good night.
