About Me

I'm an artist, educator, militant anti-theist , and I write. I gamble on just about anything. And I like beer...but I love my wife. This blog contains observations from a funny old man who gets pissed off every once in a while.

#7011 A FINAL ADIEU

 I've been forced to hang up my blogging spurs as it were and this is the post where I clean out all my files. My wife has dementia and I am her sole caregiver and I simply don't have the time or energy to blog any longer. I would like to thank all of you for tuning in to my ramblings. May life treat you and yours well.

So long, Ralph, and thanks for all the fits. You've been a part of my days for a few years. Oh, and I'd appreciate it if you keep the blog up for at least a little while longer, so I can finish looking through all the back entries. I'm only up to December 2012.

gonna miss a big part of my morning routine. I've enjoyed your humor, insights, ramblings, and though-provoking comments and observations ever since you started this blog. Please keep it up and running, perhaps with an "appointed administrator", for us to revisit the past posts. Take care.

Will miss your wit. Hope your future with your wife is blessed with good memories. I went through this with my mom, and it isn't fun. My thoughts are with you. Thank you for the times you have shown light on the absurdity of modern life. You will be missed. I always respected your opinions, even though I sometimes disagreed. You are what blogs were meant to be.

Thank you for everything you've done for us, your loyal readers. You have been a source of much laughter and many thoughtful discussions. I know you have your hands full with the woman you so obviously cherish, but please remember to take of yourself as well. You will be missed.
