Catching up
As you may have noticed Rob Payne has left DH. He was upset at me over something I shouldn't have posted, which I have since corrected, but since then Rob has decided that he is tired of blogging. (His last post at Halcyon Days is here.) I understand this, even though I am disappointed by his decision and hope he might someday decide to return.
I mean to continue, and I hope that Bob and Mimi and Micah might make additional contributions here; I look forward to their posts and always feel exited when I see one of theirs up, just as I did with Rob's posts. I always wanted the members of DH to feel like it is our blog, even though it needs to be noted that Rob essentially carried it on his shoulders, posting 60-70 per cent of the material while he was here.
For now however, I admit to feeling a bit disconnected, partly because of Rob leaving, and partly because I also have other projects I need to attend to, so my posting will be light in October and November.
All the same, I mean to add these folks to the blogroll shortly:
http://agonyin8fits.blogspot.com/ aka Susan from Texas, as she sometimes signs her comments at ATR
http://bdr.typepad.com/blckdgrd/
http://pezcandy.blogspot.com/ aka "Constructive destruction"

http://lawrenceofcyberia.blogs.com/news/
http://leninology.blogspot.com/
http://mondoweiss.net/
http://xymphora.blogspot.com/
I've debated whether or not to add IOZ, "Stop Me Before I Vote Again" and Lady Poverty just because I suspect most of the few persons likely to visit already know who they are and they don't really need additional promotion, per se.
I still post ephemera that strikes my fancy at Hugo Zoom occasionally. I try to treat DH as the "serious" blog, although hopefully not too much so.

Oi, too bad Rob did that but I understand the "kick blogging" mindset as I go through it periodically.
Thanks for the linkage, Jonathan.
Xymphora? But why?
No problemo, CFO.
Hi JM. I will admit I sometimes have mixed feelings about Xymphora, but on balance I think he is valuable even if I don't always agree with him.
Hey Jonathan, thanks for the Kind.
Jonathan,
I just wanted to thank you for having me here at your site. I also wanted to say that Jonathan is one of the nicest humans I have met on the net. Quitting had nothing to do with our little misunderstanding, just tired of tilting at windmills as it were.
Oh, Rob, I wish you'd continue. You inspired me, did you know that? Maybe after a pause and when you're refreshed, you'll post again. I wish all the best for you.
Hi Rob, good to hear from you. And what Mimi said.:^)
Mimi,
Your writing inspired me as well. I'll be visiting here so I'm not going to vanish.
Jonathan,
You too, hope you are doing well.
