After blogging for almost a year, and having written nearly two hundred short essays, I have come to the conclusion that I am spending too much time to provide too little value to too few readers.
One of the important lessons that I have learned is one that professional writers (I am not one) know: the process is hard and time consuming. There is good reason why thoughtful commentators write only a few columns each week. Researching and understanding topics, as well as choosing the proper words so that the thoughts come out right on paper, takes a lot of time.
There are other things that I should be doing. Some have the potential to make the world a slightly better place: working on behalf of sailors with disabilities, consulting to small businesses, helping to manage the financial affairs of the condominium association where I live are among them.
Although hard work, writing here has been fun. On the other hand, it has been something of a self indulgent waste of time that can be better spent elsewhere. I will, therefore, bid my readers adieu and fade into the background. Those who want my advice and opinions know where to find me.
