I wonder about blogging. Each time I wonder whether to continue my blogs and stop for awhile, I go back and start anew. Tim Higgins, mi Amigo, you and Hooda ThunkIt, aka Dave Zawodny, convinced me not to quit blogging on a couple of occasions. The last time that I stopped for about three weeks, I went back for the simple reason that I concluded that I enjoy writing. While I would like feedback to my writings, the bottom line is that I just enjoy writing for its own sake; it gives me pleasure to form the thoughts, the sentences, the phrases, the play on words, the research that helps me learn, finding links to embed that add a bit of pizzazz, etc. I suspect the same may be true of you. It makes no difference that we disagree at times; you are my friend; you are my blog brother.<br />Congratulations on five years of very excellent and extremely interesting blogging. Keep up the good work!"</i><br /><br />To that, I add this:<br />In regards to your statement of <i>"I am nevertheless prepared to meet you on the 'Internet Field of Honor' and suggest that you have your seconds get in touch with my seconds. (If my seconds aren't available, contact my thirds. If my thirds can't be found, let's have our fourths do lunch.)"</i> - I point out that you stopped too soon, just one short, in fact. I will take you up on <b>A Fifth</b> of good Irish whiskey.Roland Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14510269002146276854noreply@blogger.com
