Thanks for sharing

It appears that while I was off in blog retirement, some of my favorite bloggers retired their blogs too.

I'm sorry I wasn't around for their official retirements. And I doubt they will ever find this post, but I wanted to say thanks to Brandon and Kat for keeping me amused, entertained and making me think so many times after reading their pearls of wisdom and angst.

And a special thanks too to Julia, who inspired me to get into this whole blogging thing in the first place.

I hate to do it, but I'm going to retire you all from the 'wrap's roll. It doesn't mean you all aren't missed. It's just one of those sad realities of life. It keeps rolling on, and sadly far too often those who have meant so much to us fade out of our lives.

I'm sorry you are gone. But you are not forgotten.

Thanks for sharing mi bloggie amigos.

I cleanned out a few other dead links from the bloggroll as well. I'm not sure if I have the energy to go hunting for new blog sites I like and will read more or less regularly. Once upon a time I did, whorishly seeking links from other sites in an effort to draw traffic here. I don't think I'll do that now. I've come to realize if I will blog it won't be in an attempt to be popular or some web celebrity. It will be because sometimes I just have some things I want to say, even if I'm saying them to no one at all.
