I have been writing this blog for a little over two years. Every week since August 16 2020, with the exception of a few weeks when I took a break and “recycled” a few older posts, I have come up with a page or so about some topic I hoped readers would find interesting. Most of these were related to art, although I did occasionally use the blog to express my opinion about some important news event or to vent about something that had recently irked me. It takes me anywhere between two and four hours to write each blog, not including the time I spend coming up with ideas for my next blog. That is time I could be spending doing something else. But generally I find it enjoyable and worth doing, so I don’t really mind. Or do I? As almost no one ever leaves a comment, I don’t actually know if anyone reads or cares about my blog, and that’s OK too. As I wrote in one blog, I enjoy the fact that writing the blog forces me to stop and think about how I feel about a topic. It sometimes forces me to do a little research before I start giving my opinion, which is certainly not a bad thing. More people should do that. But I digress. Lately, I have been considering reducing the frequency of new blog entries. At the beginning of last summer, I changed my newsletter from once a week to once every two weeks. I know that means that the news is not as fresh, but I have had no complaints from my subscribers, and I have to admit it relieves quite a bit of pressure for me. I like to think the newsletter is better because of it. I want to do the same with my blog. So, unless I hear massive protests from you, dear reader, although I will still post a blog each week, I will now alternate between a new blog and a re-post of an old blog (which probably most of you either haven’t read or don’t remember). I like to write, so this new schedule will give me an opportunity to do so every week, one week for the blog, and the next week for the newsletter, and I will use the extra time to work on my art! Let me know what you think in the comments. Thank you.

If you want comments, you must stoop to the political I.e. adopt a rhetorical pro-Trump stance, or justify the freedom convoy.

Thanks for commenting! Although I know they were said tongue-in-cheek, I think I would still prefer to not have anyone commenting, tempting as some of your "suggestions" may be! ;-)
