Blogging Hiatus

I'm going to take a break from blogging for a while. Maybe for several days, maybe for Lent (Ash Wednesday is almost upon us), maybe indefinitely. We'll have to see, I'm just going to play it by ear.

For a good two years I was a regular commenter in the blogosphere, but steadfastly resisted becoming a blogger myself. Then in November I just sort of fell into it, completely by accident. I've enjoyed blogging these past going-on-three months. Though since I fell into it accidentally, I suspect I look at blogging differently from those who took it up deliberately. I've enjoyed blogging, but unlike some bloggers, I don't feel driven to blog.

I'll just say that, despite the misgivings I expressed in my very first post back in November, this has not been coming over me gradually; it struck me today suddenly and unwelcomely, like a bolt of lightning. I need to take a breather.

To paraphrase General MacArthur, "I may return."
