Ten minutes to write. Less time to read.

After thirty-three years as a late night TV host, tonight is David Letterman’s last show.  I’ve never watched late night television, but he must have been good to last that long. He must have had great personal endurance as well.

Coincidentally, today I’m signing off after eleven years as a blogger. But only temporarily. I have some other creative projects that need my mental attention, and I’m working with a web designer/marketing company to update my site and consolidate my “brand.” The new site will also be responsive, so I’ll look my best on whatever technology you’re reading me.

For the record, my first blog, “Gauging Voices,” posted on May 20, 2004. If you’re reading this, you’re on my website.  Type the title into the Search box on the left; hit Search; and read. Since then I’ve added another 1627 entries on topics ranging from travel to annoyances to small town life and various ponderings in-between. These previous blogs will repost regularly, and I hope you enjoy some of them.

Stephen Colbert replaces David Letterman come September.  I don’t have a back-up. So I’ll return with original material and updates on my writing activities (finalist in a writing contest; am now on Amazon as an e-Book, etc.) before then.
