It's time but will say it short and sweet. I'm moving on to focus on other things in my life. That was my advanced news I mentioned back in September only that it took longer than expected to make that announcement. And, yes, people still send me stuff but that will stop, too.
Kokonut Pundit had a good run for 9 1/2 years with over a million hits and the longest continuously running deaf/hh blogsite with the most blogs ever at 2,230 blogs written. I penned many more pages than the book War and Peace book (1,440 pages). As the genius mathematician Andrew Wiles who solved Fermat's Last Theorem once said, "I think I'll stop here."
I think I'll stop here, too.
My advice to my loyal readers?
Watch out for monsters who like to celebrate the passing of deaf/hh people. Watch out for people who support monsters and bullies who will look the other way which will only encourage monsters and bullies to continue their deeds They can be just as bad in some ways. And watch out for those who "lead from behind" and those who talk out of the side of their mouths doing one thing but hypocritically does another. We know who they are.
Next, Carl Schroeder's recent passing is a sad one even though I, at multiple times, disagreed with him during various blogging/vloggin debates over the years such as my most recent debate over Kappa Gamma's salutes. I did not like him much but respected him enough to know the difference. One can disagree and walk away instead of harboring such constant hatred. That is not healthy. Learn to agree to disagree in life and you'll be much better off as a person. RIP, Carl.
Thank you for supporting my blog.
Adios.
Au revoir.
Good bye.

(I'm sure that's a familiar comment. hehe)
I wish you well Mike. Thank YOU for all the blogs. 9 1/2 years, wow! time flew. learned a lot, I did. always thoughtful and sincere, often provocative and humorous.
I met you and Carl Schroeder on the same occasion: the Coalition for Critical Inquiry v/bloggers conference. was it 2007? Memories were made there.

9 1/2 years? You should wait until you reach 10th....you should write up all of your fondest memories during your blogging life.
Then, I'll laugh and tear.
"The Deaf Dr. Evil Plot.....Exposed!", Poaties' blogs and Dr. Don Gruskin's Monoploy Money were the most funniest, fondest and flabbergast!
Then you can become retired and use your cigar.
Anony @ 5:12 pm...I could but I won't. But that Monopoly money thing? Yeah, I agree. I think that was the funniest thing that ever happened.
Hope you'll keep the blog open as an archive. Blogspot will happily do that for you. There's too much to lose if you close/remove your posts. I've seen too many bloggers do that to their content and I don't understand why -- just leave it up on Blogspot. I hope you will keep here. Thanks for writing all these years and good luck in your next chapter.

Too much to lose? What do you mean? I get the idea but I want to hear it from you the reason(s) why. thanks.
Regret the news, and at the same time, wish you the very best Mike!
