Ending
From the very beginning of this blog I was not keen to make many "friends".
The more thankful I am that I "found" a few.
When
Jams who died eight years ago, aged 54, I thought I can't give up
blogging because of Claude; when Claude died this year, aged 92, I
thought, ...
... but now it happened.
There is an Ending
Andrew aka "my" Don QuiScottie has announced it.
Thus, time for "his" Seanso (Panza) to follow.
Not as rigorously, though, as there are quite a few authors and their books scheduled; and now and then I might answer comments in case there are some.
As a man and a donkey do know more than a man, to completely delete Omnium is not planned, so far, either.
May most of the time be happiness upon you.
