And, again...

First, take a look at the Blog Archive to the right.

7 posts in 2010, 36 in 2009, 86 (2008), 99 (2007), 115 (2006). I sense a theme...

I entertained the thought of shutting things down way back - when, exactly, I don't know. But, having posted only seven (this makes eight) times this year, it looks like it's time to move on. I don't have the time to transition the blog to something else. Well, I could, but what I'm focusing on is such a radical departure from this blog, that it would be silly to take it in that direction.

Also, as I said in the last post, I'm in touch with almost everyone who might check in - and make themselves known - on facebook. And, I email with the one person who doesn't use facebook.

So, here's the deal. I'm going to leave the blog visible because it's an easy way to check in with everyone else's blog (US2CA). Also - again, as I mentioned - at the end of August I'll be going to Minnesota by myself, "commuting" - of sorts - between my job there and my family here. That may be a time that I resume blogging more regularly.

I still enjoy checking in with everyone now and again and there are some of you that I still hope to meet, live and in person. I'm very grateful for the support of our expat family, the information, the morale boosters, etc. It's been a heck of a ride!

Happy holidays - whatever it is you may observe - and I'll "see" you sometimes during the coming year!
