It's time to close this journal. The Web has matured a lot in the six years since I wrote my first entry here, and so have I. If I could meet the person I was back then, I think we'd get along poorly. Fortunately, men are malleable, and no-one is stuck forever with the person they are.
Any long-form journaling I come up with these days gets posted on
Google+. Quick links go on
Twitter; news for the family goes up on
Facebook. Feel free to follow me there.
I retain fond memories of the friendships I've formed here; this journal will remain online indefinitely, although I will unsubscribe from comment notifications due to all the spam LJ racks up. To all my faithful readers and friends: thanks for being at my side through this journey. Here's to the future, and the adventures it will bring.
