Saying Goodbye: The Last Entry

It is with much regret that I must call an end to my humble blogging efforts. After 345 entries, the first of which was May 11, 2007, I've decided to call it a day.

I never thought it would last this long, and I've enjoyed every minute of it. But alas, those pesky and irritating life issues came up during the last several months. I won't go into the gory details, but my focus was on finding a full-time job and getting out of a financial black hole. I didn't feel like watching many movies, let alone blogging about them. Even if I did have the energy, I know I would not have done a very good job of it.

I was so focused on finding work, I declined to participate in several blogathons, which in the past I would have happily participated in. My brain was severely cramped about what title to write about, let alone what to say about it.

But the dark clouds have lifted, and I start a new full-time job (with benefits) at the end of the month. I can breathe, relax a little and start to enjoy life again. I want to do a really good job at my new endeavor, so decided to cease my blogging efforts. I may try it again, once the creative juices come back, but for now, have decided to take a sabbatical.

Thank you to all the wonderful readers who have commented here over the years. I've enjoyed some wonderful relationships from across the country, with like-minded classic movie fans who share our passion. There are lot of first-rate writers out there who are keeping these wonderful movies alive, hopefully for generations to come. I'm honored to be a small part of that and once I get settled into my new routine, I look forward to visiting, and commenting, these blogs again.

Thanks again everybody for all your support, kindness and encouragement. See you at the movies.
