To people who have read my blog for all or part of the last
7 years, thank you! Pageviews were slow at first but then grew and grew, and
that inspired me to keep writing.
I hope I have educated and entertained, made you want to
know more about some things, and made you consider stuff you never would have
thought of before—that was my goal. If we could laugh and have fun in the process, so much the better.
But, alas, 364 posts and almost 100,000 page views later (so close!), my position here has been eliminated, and so the
blog will come to an end with this post. I’ve very much enjoyed writing for
you, and I hope you continue to wonder and find out about all sorts of things. Some parting thoughts:
Education is power. You can receive it in many forms, and
you can give it in many forms. Every moment is a teachable moment.
Write. Read. Write. Read. Read some more.
You can live with many different types of people and respect
many kinds of philosophies without agreeing, but you cannot be a human being of
value unless you have empathy and compassion for others. And just as
you need to give respect, you also need to call out moral wrongs.
