At this late stage of the proceedings, I’m at a loss as to what to say about the fact that I’ve now been updating this blog for sixteen years.
I mean, oh sure, I could dust off the old anecdote about how I started this blog just to piss off a friend and former colleague of mine who had just started his own. He abandoned his after a while, whereas I just …. kept going.
Of course, the concept of anybody blogging in 2021 seems arguably pretty ridiculous. I mean, were I the dutiful trend-follower, I’d be, at the very least, a vlogger/"influencer," by this point, with a YouTube channel and branding and merch all that, but that’s just not my scene. If anything, I am a “bad influencer,” and the closest thing to merch I have is a clutch of dumb stickers, and if you want any of those, you’ll have to walk around downtown Manhattan, find one that hasn’t yet been defaced and peel it off something. Have fun with that.
In any case, my continued gratitude to those of you who’ve actually bothered to read the blog and inexplicably keep coming back for more. And another big thank you to those who have gone that perilous extra mile and left a comment.
You keep readin’ and commentin’ and I’ll keep postin’.
Gee-suss. Empty-Nest Syndome setting in, proto-punk-perp walks through the 'nabe, colonoscopy updates.....
yep, looks like we're gonna haf'ta watch you drool your way outta here. At least you'll leave a trail that we can follow.
Keep on punchin'!

It's been an enriching journey. If anything subterranean is your thing.
