Taking A Break

Some of you may know I was a reporter for 16 years before retiring in 2003. Recently I was taking a look at my old assignment books and couldn't help noticing all the vacation and personal days I had to use or lose every year. By contrast, as a blogger since June 2005 I have posted daily for more than 11 years with hardly a break. Early on, Barbara Todd Kerr also posted, but most of the 2,343 Plainfield Plaintalker posts were mine, as were all of the 3,550 Plaintalker II posts.

Seeing all those vacation days made me think I should assign myself a few, so here goes! The blog will be on hiatus for a while. Feel free to browse the archives at ptalker2.blogspot.com or plaintalker.blogspot.com if you wish. Here's an example from 2008: Plainfield and How It Got That Way.

  6. We all will miss your insight and unbiased information about Plainfield. Of late it has seemed that fewer number are interested and the enjoyment of blogging which can be time consuming is diminished. Bernice enjoy your relaxation, visit Seattle and come back soon.
