Alternate Title: Hey, it's hard to come up with snappy, original titles when you feel like all the wind's been taken out of your sails.
Ricky's closing up shop.
Damn.
Just damn.
Ricky gave me my start some 4 years ago. He'd taken on a co-blogger who wound up quitting a short time later, and I jokingly mentioned that I'd be interested in filling in. He enthusiastically took me on, despite my having little writing ability and even less aptitude for holding my tongue.
And now he's packing it in. Can't say I blame him, really - he's got three really good reasons close to home.
But I haven't felt this sad about something online since Time Online/Pathfinder closed its doors. And that's saying a lot.
Ricky, you'll be missed.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Comments are closed on Toys in the Attic, so I'll say it here. He'll be missed.
You and Ricky were one of the first blogs to link me.
We'll miss him, but his wife and kids won't miss him so much any more, and who could begrudge him that?
Thanks, guys. I'll still be commenting at your respective sites...hey, still need to vent from time to time. I'm just stepping aside from the 'blogger' mantle.
I hate to see him go but I don't blame him at all. Life is too short to do anything that becomes a pain in the ass unless you just have to.
Ricky,
You're welcome here any time.
Say the word and you'll have the keys.
Jay,
I'll definitely take you up on that in the future. I'm sure I'll post some family stuff or fitness updates at my sight, I'm just completely non-plussed with politics right now...couldn't care less about any of 'em & there was no use in keeping a site up for folks to check in on from time to time when I wasn't even contemplating anything on politics in the immediate future.
But, you know me, I'll get the itch in the future. :)
Thanks.
