A Change In My Life…The End Of My Blog
I have been thinking about this for a VERY long time. Which means…since the beginning of this year. I have been thinking about it and when the podcast (The Trailhead) became too unwieldy to keep going, I began to think even harder. Then, as my posts became fewer, and I started looking at quitting smoking, training harder for next year and heading toward 50 agressively, without pause or reservation, I knew it was time to hang up the web site and probably the domain.
Time is important, what I do WITH that time EVEN MORE. After my second granddaughter was born I decided that I would live to see all of my little ones graduate, get settled into life and maybe be there for some weddings. Who knows? It could happen.
So, in this last post on my personal page (because the last update to the main site lost the dashboard, another reason I decided to stop.) I want to thank you all in the OI community and my Burgh community for your support and care. I think the world of you all. You’re great people and I enjoyed every blog post, tweet and Facebook post.
It looks like it’s time to head on down the trail and I do so a bit choked up and my eyes glazing over…Adios, Vaya Con Dios mis amigos.

We will miss you! But good on you for taking the time to focus on yourself and your family. Best of luck!!
While I’m not a hiker I have always enjoyed your site and show so I can live vicariously through others like you who can do cool things while I’m stuck behind a keyboard
cheers!

Thank You both so very much. I will still be on twitter…now and again and look forward to your tweets.
One less hiking blogger? Sad day.
But it sounds like you’ve got your priorities in order. Best wishes for the road ahead, and here’s hoping that you’re around for your *great*-grandkids’ weddings.
