A Word From Your Sponsor

Hello neighbors. It's been a long time -- over three years, in fact, and what a three years it's been! My mother passed from us last summer, with all the drama and trauma that Parkinson's Disease can inflict on a patient and family.
I received a query from a blog visitor today, asking whether or not this blog is still active. Clearly it hasn't been, but if the interest is there, I'm open to keeping it going. That's up to YOU. If enough people express interest, either by commenting on blog entries or by authoring blog entries, I'll keep this going.
There is also the option of monetizing the blog, which I hope would result in good exposure for local businesses, resulting in more business for them, and in turn resulting in more revenue for the county coffer. Yeah... and it would help me out a little -- a concern that seems to grow and grow as prices rise and our fixed income gives the illusion of shrinking. I'll put that decision off, though, to give you readers a chance to comment on the idea, and also to see whether there seems to be enough traffic to make it worthwhile.
Previous blog contributors will be hearing from me with an invitation to come back to the town square. If you contact me, be sure to check your junk/spam folders for my reply, as it will come from a different address than the one posted here.
