Well, it’s certainly been something. I wanted to get in here quickly, though I really just echo a lot of what Becky will say up yonder in her post. Contributing to this site has been an experience, indeed. I thank Becky for bringing me on board (if I recall correctly it was after I ranted quite extensively about wanting “shank Joe Buck like a backup punter” that she said “you’re hired!”). Thank you, all of you, for helping with the occasional wrong tie, or missed segue music, and for playing along with us. The little nods from the show - real or perceived - have actually meant a lot to me.

Two of the many things I have loved, since the very onset of my teenagerhood, have been writing and Keith Olbermann. Now, writing and being a Keith fan … they’re not constants. Everyone gets writer’s block, and – sure – there were times when Keith wasn’t on my TV, but the current of fondness for both remained even if there was no outlet. But I have watched too much Countdown in the last few years. I have listened to too much sports radio, watched too much pregame football, and read far too many articles. The outlet’s there, but the current is gone. And at a time in my life when I’ve stopped being able to write anything but my required weekly recap(s), I’m interested to see what happens when that responsibility is gone, too. I suppose I’ll go somewhere else. Blog somewhere else about something else, and how to appreciate Keith again, on my own time.

But this has certainly been something, hasn’t it?

I signed off this way Wednesday night because I thought that might be it, but I’ll say it again here.

This was the blog, and that does it for me. Good bye.
