It began on AOL as "Trickle of Semi-consciousness" in April, 2003. It migrated to Blogspot in November of 2005 as "Single Man Writing", and evolved into "Brininess and Volubility" as the course of my life changed. Much to my amusement, it made a minor internet celebrity out of my mother, who never touched a computer in her life.
Now I find that it has become somewhat repetitive and is on the way to becoming stale. I think a private, family-oriented photo-blog suits me better as I embrace grandfatherhood and approach the age of sixty. I would like to acknowledge the loyal band of readers that has paid heed to my words. You are not many, but you are kind.
I leave you with some Irish reggae from my boys from Galway.

Best wishes for 2009 and beyond, then, Paul!
This is a completely unacceptable turn of events.
Gee, I just started reading you not that long ago, and now you're cutting me off? Drat.
Whatever you decide, I wish you good things to come!
All my best,
Beth
Paul, it's been a pleasure reading you, and I want to thank you for your kindness and your encouragement about my writing. Bless you.
Darn it! Gigi will probably use this as a reason to stop blogging too. Say it isn't so! Ah...but it's evolution. Well wishes to you and yours.
I'm feeling similar things, so I understand and yet I'll miss reading you. All the best, Paul.

I will certainly miss reading you, I adore Grammy and will miss reading about her as well. I understand though. If you ever decide to come back, please let me know so I don't miss anything.
Wishing you and your lady all the best.

I'm with Gannet girl.
But if you are determined to leave, I wish you well on your journey and I will miss you.
Oh, nooooo...
Robbie's right. I, for one, refuse to be gracious. I feel I am losing a dear friend, one whom I have never met but am happier for having known. I understand that things change and people evolve and you have grown beyond this tiny world. But I'll miss you, your travels, your friends and, of course, the Grammy. Especially the Grammy.
On second thought, I'll have what she's having. And lots of it. ;)
Peace and love to you and Kathleen, Paul. You'll be well missed.
Referring to your entry of November 27th, I would like to extend my sympathies on the death of your elderly relative.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Sending prayers your way!
There was no comment button on the post about Grammy so I'll leave it here and hope that you get it.
I am saddened to hear of the passing of Grammy, regardless of her age. She was such a character and I loved reading about her. She reminded me of soooo many patients that I've taken care of and I love, love, love my elderly patients. But I bet you heaven is a much happier place with her there. If heaven has a comedy club, she's the star.
You and your family are in my thoughts.
Oh, and we miss reading you.
