This is to say FaRewell, FRiends; at least for a time.
But I expect this to be a pretty extended time.
Thanks for the fun, thanks for all the laughs, thanks for putting up with me.
So why am I "going?" I am signing off in order to be able to devote my full time and attention to the achievement of certain important personal goals. Unfortunately, there don't seem to be enough hours in the day to be able to really do the other things I need to do, and freep too.
Again, I expect this to be an extended time. I expect to be gone for at least two years. Possibly forever, but at least two years.
Now if I should succeed in achieving not only my initial goals, but my larger goals as well within the next two years, then I suppose it's possible that I might be back a bit sooner. But as far as I can tell, I would have to meet with extraordinary good fortune to accomplish both sets of goals.
This, incidentally, is the essence of conservatism: Accepting responsibility and going out and taking the action necessary to make my own life better -- as well as the lives of other people too.
This will be my last public post for a long, long time. Perhaps we will meet again, somewhere beyond January 1st, 2010.
It's been fun, and perhaps will be again.
May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.

I’m amazed at people wondering why they fail...or not trying at all.

Good luck and God Bless.
Classic Opus, no bitterness, no whining, no finger pointing, no angry vitriol.

I always hate seeing an opus here on FreeRepublic, but you're leaving for all the right reasons. Good luck in your endeavors, and take a moment every now and then to check in and say hello!

Some trails are happy ones,
Others are blue.
It’s the way you ride the trail that counts,
Here’s a happy one for you.
Happy trails to you,
Until we meet again.
Happy trails to you,
Keep smilin’ until then.
Who cares about the clouds when we’ere together?
Just sing a song, and bring the sunny weather.
Happy trails to you,
Til we meet again.
