I'll continue to post comments, if any, as they come in (after reviewing them for strict Marxist-Leninist conformity as usual). <br /><br />This feels a little like evaesdroping at one's own funeral - most people say nice things about the deceased, at least within the confines of the funeral home, with the added benefit of not actually being deceased.<br /><br />I feel like I should also say that ending the blog does *not* mean that I've decided not to run for re-election. Indeed, if I had to decide right now, I'd probably run again, but I don't have to decide because, as you may have noticed it's August, not December.Doug Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16661429832655198314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35666868.post-57327861283933308912012-08-06T23:01:26.675-05:002012-08-06T23:01:26.675-05:00Thank you for sharing yourself and your news for a...Thank you for sharing yourself and your news for as long as you did. Your blog was the go-to place to learn what was going on in Monona and environs, and not just in bullet points, but with well-written thoughtfulness, candor, and honesty. So refreshing! So missed! So needed! <br /><br />Congratulations on having a full life that made your time more precious.

I am sorry to see you close the place, and I appreciate all the hard work you went to to give all of us in Monona a spot with civil and respectful conversation. We'll miss gathering there.
