I have maintained this blog for over 20 years and always said I would do it until it wasn’t fun anymore. I did have a lot of fun over the years. I made a lot of friends… lifelong friends, including Jeff Dominique, Badger, Roger Sobin (R.I.P.), Harold Uhlman (R.I.P.), Rob Schelling, Billy Russell, Old Bear, Jayne Cobb, Dodgerpatch, and others. I am sorry if I left your name off, but I can’t remember them all!
Over the past few years, two or three times, I thought about quitting but always came back. Frankly, I missed it. I love the Dodgers and felt a sense of community with the posters. A few days ago, I made the decision that I was done, but I decided to wait a few days to see if I might change my mind. It’s my website and my prerogative to do that, but this time, it is over.
This time, it’s different. There are many reasons, and I am not going to get into them all, but mostly, it’s a feeling of freedom – knowing that I don’t HAVE to write anything about the Dodgers today. I have already posted on Jeff Dominique’s site: www.LAdodgerChronicles.com, and will continue to do so… unless he bans me! 😉
There are already several former LA Dodger Talk commenters there as we speak. I have gotten lots of e-mails and instant messages from all over the world. It is amazing how many people read the blog. However, this was my favorite:
A potato farmer in Alberta!
What a ride!
