A Change in Cabin Pressure

on
Well I have some bad news.
It looks like I will have to cut back on my blogging due to some personal and work-related issues. Everything is fine, but the time I devote to this hobby of mine will be seriously reduced.
I don't know how often I am going to be able to post and I don't know how often I will be able to visit your blog. My philosophy on blogging has always been to return the favor. If you visit my blog, I will visit your blog. This will not change, but the frequency will. I was able to make daily visits to many of your blogs but that is not going to happen in the immediate future. I am probably going to make it out to your blog once or twice a week for now.
I love blogging with each and every one of you, but my family and job are the top priorities in my life right now.
I hope you understand, and I hope you continue to stop by and say hello. And I will do my best to return the favor.

Have a great weekend.

Believe it or not, I understand. I'm actually quite a thoughtful and compassionate fella. I'll miss seeing your nearly-daily posts and musings, and I wish you the best as always.

But don't quit leaving me comments, goddamnit!

Don't worry, Mr Shife. I will still come here when you post since I have you as an RSS feed and when you post, I will comment. It does amaze me how people can be such prolific bloggers. I really admire them! I think my goal is to post at least once a week and if I manage two that is a great feat.

Take it easy! x

Tell the truth...you found The Hoff's address and you're off to stalk him. ;)


Awwww....I'll miss my daily Shife fix. You do what you have to do...we're not going anywhere. I'll check in often to see if you've updated.

Take care!

Sad as this news is, do your thing, man. Do your thing.

I think it's really cool that you've made the decision to put your family and career first, although I really hope nothing bad happened that brought you to that decision by force.

I'll miss the frequency of your random acts of shifeness, but I'll still be around to comment when you do post.

Infernal Combustion has been promising an update since January 31, 2004, and I still check it once a week. Believe me, I'll be checking in.

yup, if you have too many priorities you don't have any.

taking a little time off will allow you to rebuild your inventory of wit.

live long and prosper.

Shifey, I don't visit your blog so you'll come to mine. In fact, don't come to mine. Do your thing. I'll check back when i can.

Hope you get some respite soon.

No problems my man. As much as we all enjoy the blogosphere (I hate that word, but its so -- perfect), we all know the real world comes first.

Handle your business, we'll be here when you come back.

MrShife- I actually like reading your blog- and read it for no other reason then the fact that I like it. I'll be missing your daily Shifeness, but would rather know that out there in Shifeland the Shifey's are happy.

I understand the need to cut back on the blogging on occasion.

I hope that you, MrsShife and Quincy are alright and that all is well.
