Thirteen years ago in July<\/a>, I did the first of what (here at RAMH<\/em>, anyhow) I categorized as a “whiskey river Friday” post. Back then, I imagined I’d be putting in several days’ worth of effort, every week, in making Running After My Hat<\/em> a megaphone for cogent — albeit quirky — commentary about this, that, and the other thing, supported by dozens (if not hundreds) of loyal readers and commenters… In short, I imagined that blogging in general would go on like that, forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By 2011, I thought maybe I might be able, just possibly, to manage the trick. But “stuff” was happening in the wider world. By then, competitors to blogging (F*ceb**k et al.) had already established beachheads in the social-media battlefield, and various blogging friends had started to wander off, listless, distracted, and disheartened. Still, I’ve kept going after a fashion, especially with the weekly whiskey river Fridays<\/a><\/em> series. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that’s about to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without going into details for now, by the end of June, 2021, The Missus and I will be here and there (hmm, maybe here or<\/strong><\/em> there, more precisely) around the continental US. Among the least of the disruptions to our routines: it will become almost impossible for me to prepare my Friday posts in the same manner I’ve always done them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do like doing them — particularly, I still love what whiskey river<\/a><\/em>‘s anonymous presenter, er, presents, several times a week. So I’ll be continuing for the foreseeable future to post something in the manner of what I’ve been doing for thirteen years… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

…starting this Friday, 21 May, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks as ever to those of you who’ve continued to drop by!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
