Thank You South Dakota, Good Night! (For A Little While)
Posted by: Todd Epp - 08/13/2009 9:42 PM (Bloggers, Personal, RSS Feed) Dear Fellow Babies:
My postings are going to be semi-frequent for a while at the Middle Border Sun and here at KELOLAND. I need a break from blogging for a while. I always try to post at least one thing each day that is "worthwhile" to either you or at least myself. I'm kind of tired of doing this pretty much non-stop since January 2005 with just a few brief hiatuses (hiatusi?) during that time. I've tried to feed the monster and I've kind of run out of monster feed. I have backed away from most (but not quite all) of my former political involvements. My ear is still reasonably close to the ground but not on the ground like it has been in the past. I don't hear all the juicy stuff that I used to hear.
My tiredness is coupled with some things going on in my personal and professional lives that have taken my attention. It's nothing really bad, just stuff that demands my time. Also, I have been refereeing soccer and basketball like a madman this summer. For a fat old man like me, that takes a lot out of fellow. This fall, I will again be refereeing quite a bit of soccer and following my son Matt's Harrisburg boys varisty soccer team around the state. Further, once I am officially "in," I'm going to announce that I am member of an organization that might surprise some of you. (No, Sibby, I'm not joining the Black Helicopter of the Month Club.) It's a service opportunity that I am really excited about. My Buddhist practice and education is becoming an area that I am really enjoying and hope to become more formally involved in, time permitting. I'm going to continue to post here once in a while and post DharmaTweets at Twitter and write about the Kansas City Chiefs at My Chiefs Complaint at BlogCritics.
With so many local blogs around, I'm finding it harder and harder to break through the noise and clutter and yes, even the good stuff. When I started out, I wasn't a trail blazer but I was one of the pioneers in a digital Conestoga wagon. Now, there's a plethora of South Dakota-related blogsites. I saw the frontier before it was gone and now it is gone. It isn't as much fun as it used to be. While I'm off doing other things and just posting once in a while here, I think these local blogs deserve your attention because of what they do and how they do it.
So, thank you South Dakota, good night! (sort of). I leave you with Pres. Man Crush saying good bye for me--for just a little while.
