It's a sad fact of life that after you leave childhood behind and move into adulthood, responsibilities progressively creep into a guy's life leaving less and less time for the truly important things (like Louis Lamour and Max Brand). Work, no longer being able to stick out your tongue without censor, house payments, car insurance, rent, taxes. Life really stinks after awhile.

However, there are some responsibilities that are taken on voluntarily. One in particular has been weighing on my mind as of late.

I am, of course, referring to blog ownership.

Blog ownership is not be taken lightly.

Words do mean things. And that statement can be taken several ways. Words do mean, nasty things and words do mean something. Have
I made myself clear?

The fearsome power of blog ownership is a terrible burden to bare. I would never be able to handle all of the stress if it wasn't for all of the people in my life who have been there for me. Special thanks for all of the phone calls, emails, faxes, promises of checks in the mail, etc. Thanks to JB for all of your editing help. RLM for bringing out the best in me when it came to writing. The guys in The Pad, you've made me a better man.

Mom, Dad, you've always been there for me. Thanks.

Bed time for Blogger.
