A moment of honesty

A while ago on this blog, I said I would no longer discuss my personal issues and health struggles in this forum. I definitely want to stick to that pledge, but at this point I feel I must, in the interest of openness and honesty, get a few things off my chest, because I think these things affect the way I operate this blog. I will try to be as brief as possible.

For many years, my health issues have often prevented me from fulfilling my employment duties and responsibilities, and for the past couple years those issues have sometimes hindered my ability to continually sustain this blog to the level both I and my readers expect.

Specifically, I have been sometimes unable to meet obligations or make it to appointments because of my health situation, and often I am unable to write any posts on a consistent basis for days at a time.

I don’t mean to commit any of those failures, and I wish more than anything that I could be more, well, reliable. I love what I do, I love this blog, and I’m extremely grateful to all of my sources and, most importantly, my readers. I don’t want to let any of you down, and every day I strive to make sure that doesn’t happen.

But sometimes it will, and I am sorry for that. At this point I want to specifically apologize to two people who have been more than generous to me in their willingness to put up with me — Paul Haney and Jack Driscoll. I am sorry.

OK, that’s enough of that. As always, thank you so much for reading and contributing to this blog.
