Resurrection

And, Poof!. . .

Just like that, Long Season is dead. Love live LongSeason!

Remember, this exercise began as a gift from my son-in-law to me and his long-time childhood friend, Paul. Paul Salvatore, who has written, and PUBLISHED a wonderful fantasy, "Fountain's Edge." (Amazon, $2.99, kindle format as well as paper back! DEAL!)

The blog has moved on. Paul, actually, physically, is leaving the area to pursue new challenges and life with unknown mountains to climb. Beautiful wife, masterful medical skills, stone-cold rugged Italian good looks, and the mind of a arbitrage rep, he'll do well!!

While my son-in-law, Chris, remains here, with me, in Western Podunk, PA., facing his own wonderful professional high-tech challenges I'll never comprehend, with two of the bestest, most adorable children any human being could ask for and a beautiful wife I love possibly more than he does (?) Nah, I don't think so. . . (In comparison? Paul loses. Sorry Paul.)

Me? I stick around until somebody shakes my shoulder to tell me I'm drooling on my bib I put on two days ago because I was cold in a breeze somewhere I was, but I don't remember. . .But at least I remember I married the other most beautiful woman in the world, Chris' mother-in-law! Incest at its absolute Best!!

I didn't delete all my entries from LongSeason for the last three years, I just took them off "Published." You can't see them, but I can. They still exist. And may still form the basis for a book if/when I ever decide to spend time writing the way I should.

The entries from the last blog were not all garbage. They were raw and poignant and uncut. And true expositions of emotion and insight. Many (well, at least some) were masterpieces, in my mind, if I do say so. But LongSeason had become a kite with a tail 300 yards long. It didn't fly any more. The time had come to rework, refocus and maybe, think about what I wanted to do with the blog.

. . .Um, . . .I don't want to disappoint you, but I'm not getting any new inspiration here.

So, until I come up with a new direction for LongSeason, I just may try to upgrade my prose and perhaps make an effort to ascend to "literature" from "diary."

Hahaha!! I crack myself up, sometimes!! That was Great!! 

And Bullshit.

Welcome to LongSeason without the tail! I hope the journey is fun for you, too, as it will be for me!

And again, Thank You, Chris!
