So I wrote a post yesterday about the seasons of my life, wherein a girlfriend of mine (who is on the other side of 40) threatened to stop reading my blog if I didn't quit talking about being so old and on death's door. She even went as far as to make a joke that if I am so old "have I pulled the plug on the Hub yet?" Touché. That said, I reread the post and reread it again and then deleted it and spent a rather sleepless night thinking about if I should continue to blog here at all.
This blog has become a forum for me to either brag on my son or rag on myself. And though the bragging on my son part is huge fun for me, it might grow tiresome for others and while my ragging on myself surely helps me work through my fears of death and aging, the Internet is not Prozac and Blogger.com is not my therapist.
And so, I am going to take some time to reassess what I am doing here. It might take me a few hours. It might take me a few days. Who knows, I might never come back. Doubtful, but hey, this is life, right? Anything can happen.
(And to hear my short thoughts on the movie of the hour, go here.)

All signs point to tomorrow though.

Oh boo......I've just discovered your blog and have enjoyed it immensely! Hopefully this won't be your last post!
.....plus, it's a lot cheaper than therapy, isn't it?
It's still there on your RSS feed :-)
keep going...
i have an rss feed? who knew?
I hope you keep blogging! Your blog is one of the very few I read. I read your deleted post (prior to deletion) and I can relate. I will be 40 in just over a year and I have been having a lot of the same thoughts!
You have an amazingly passionate way of expressing yourself and I think that is what makes your blog unique and special. I hope you stay! :)
yes...i got to read it even though you deleted it. and thank God. you are assuming you started in the spring?! maybe you are just now heading into your favorite season. there's just no telling:) guess that part is somewhat up to you.
as far as the end of the blog....nobody is ever going to be bored of the bub. there's always going to be someone who is interested in your story. so i vote for keep on keepin on. this is an excercise for your memoir. it's a journal, not a therapist. with the added benefit of finding people who care.
xoxo
I really hope you don't quit this blog (don't make us beg!). I've found your observations resonate with me...and I actually liked your last post - it was honest. Everyone struggles with getting older and family issues, but few do it with such style.
thanks guys. i wasn't fishing for the love, but it's nice to get it. i'm just feeling a little uninspired... you bloggers know how that gets. i'll come up with some optimistic to say today, even if it kills me.
