October 19, 2011In-House UpdateOccasioned by the recent mini-flurry of blogging activity below, I thought providing a brief update about the future of this site might be merited. I have been remiss in doing so for far too long and meaning to apologize to any regular visitors. As most of you have probably concluded, varied commitments have conspired these past several years allowing virtually no time to post here. These factors include family, professional development obligations, and perhaps more than anything, an exceptionally demanding work and travel schedule. Indeed, given the dearth of fresh content posted on-line here, one might even on occasion have fairly asked whether the site was worth keeping up. The answer is that despite the aforementioned timing constraints set to continue going forward--as a dedicated observer of global public policy and numerous media sources--and to the extent I may have content worth sharing with a wider readership in the future, I will continue to post when able (while also exploring other alternatives to share content as well). In the meantime, I again ask for forbearance respecting the highly irregular nature of posting to this ‘blog’, or perhaps better stated, a cyber-forum for occasional pieces, assorted shout-outs, or, of late, even amateur photography! I thank you for your continued interest, and suspect even in the context of the epochal events of the last decade (9/11, the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars, the financial crisis and Great Recession, etc.) we will, whether good or bad, also have a steady fare of major going forward events to grapple with in this new decade.

We will wait as long as you'd like. Take your time. It's always worth waiting for. Posted by: DRS at October 20, 2011 01:51 PM | Permalink to this commentGreg, While I may disagree with you on certain points, some time ago I replied to some very well-written, well-thought-out installments from you on this forum after having discovered it and found the commentary stimulating, provocative, and never boring. I recall your situation as well with your dilemma over whether or not to continue with the blog, and - rather shamefully on my part, with retrospect - assumed that you would run it down, so consequently never came this way again. Happily, by accident, I found that you were still sustaining this forum. I've looked over the postings as well and have not been disappointed. Thank you for your decision to keep it going, and hope to participate in it again soon. Posted by: sekaijin at October 22, 2011 04:58 AM | Permalink to this comment |
