Looks that way after 82 years. I've met a few good friends here and a
bunch of crazies. I've managed to enjoy many or perhaps most, each in
their own way. This is the first goodbye posting I've seen in the
decades I've been on Usenet. Perhaps there are a few cheers in the
peanut gallery, but there should be no tears, hopefully a few well
wishers. The few times thoughts about this moment crossed my mind I
wondered how I'd think and feel about it. At the moment I'm wondering
about what I'll have for dinner tonight. The end, like the beginning,
is something we usually don't have much say over. I've tried to not
leave much of a mess, but some things I've left for others to finish
in my stead. If I had more energy that would not be so.
Probably what I wish for the most is to have made better relationship
decisions throughout my life. Even so, I was supposed to be able to
trust those I trusted, and they, in the end, proved unworthy of my trust
and my affection. But there's no use crying over spilt milk. The good
moments, found elsewhere, were, for the most part, permitting me to look
back and not regret everything.
Thanks to the friends I made on Usenet, and Godspeed.
