The beginning of the end? Maybe so. It's obvious that blog participation by RGNC'ers has fallen off abruptly as of late. So, given the lack of interest and participation, maybe its time to pull the plug on this thing. If nobody has the time to contribute and keep it moving, there is no obligation to pretend to act as though it matters. I for one, like the idea of a blog as a way to transcend geograghical distance and to also provide an outlet for whatever takes we might have about whatever we might have a take about. However, the silence as of of late has been heard loud and clear, and it says that maybe this ain't as much fun for some as it is for others. So, if that is the case, lets let it drop and move on. If there hasn't been much of a change in the next week, I'm going to have to put this blog down. After all, I can talk to myself easier than getting on this site to do it to nobody.

That having been said, I had a Guinness Malt yesterday. I said I had a Guinness Malt yesterday; made from Guiness Stout flavored ice cream. From what I understand the alcohol cooks off during the process of making the ice cream, but it still tastes like the much beloved soothment and beverage produced by the fine folks at St. James Gate in Dublin. Anyway, it was enjoyable.

Any photographers out there into the digitial stuff? I ordered a camera yesterday and will soon be clicking away. I was big into the photography classes in high school (yes, I went to high school). Now I look forward to doing so again. Travel stuff, slice of life, semi-documentary, that kind of thing. If the blog picks up again and survives I'll even be posting images if blogger ever gets their act together and allow the upgrade that makes it possible again.

Somebody who read the take I had re: candy bars recently informed me that in England, the standard vending machine fare is on the level of Cadbury's Chocolate. Thats some good stuff. Personally, I'll take it over a Hershey Bar any day. I'm not being a snob, it's just better.


be good.
