Once upon a time there was a blog-father. This blog-father encouraged a blog-child. He offered support, advice, and kind words. The child was grateful and thankful in return.

Then, as all children do, the child grew and became a blog adolescent. The adolescent began to have ideas of it’s own. Not only that, they were very different from the father’s ideas and not always very respectful.

The father became angry and admonished the child to straighten up and be respectful of him. The child responded by stating that it was now its own person with ideas and a voice of it’s own.

The father demanded the child either toe the line or move away, and if the choice was to move away, not expect any further support from him. How sad, after all he had done for the child.

And so. The child moved away.

Thank you for your kindesses, DC. I will always be grateful.
