Well, I blew it.<\/p>\n
For the first time since the feature debuted in January 2007, I flaked on the Thursday Morning Riddle<\/a>. Sure, there was that one time<\/a> in August 2007 where I knew I’d be away and I posted a riddle-laden puzzle on Wednesday. I also didn’t riddle during my recent blogging hiatus<\/a>. But those were deliberate. Yesterday, it just slipped my mind.<\/p>\n And it wouldn’t be so bad if the blog were brimming with fresh anagrams, discussion topics, puzzles, and reflections on the teaching of a certain writer whose name I am too ashamed to mention since I also missed blogging on his birthday. But lately, it’s been an all-riddle show, and yesterday it wasn’t even that. My apologies to all of the visitors who were let down. I’m grateful for all of the readers who – with almost unlimited options – choose to visit this site on a regular basis. Even with the lack of activity lately, this site is still one of the top 202,115<\/a> blogs on the Internet, and I don’t take that for granted.<\/p>\n I especially want to thank all of the readers who took the time to leave comments like “Hi! It’s good blog!” on this post<\/a> from March 2008. I appreciate the thought, as well as the links you included. Please don’t take offense that I deleted those comments, but I just haven’t been feeling it lately. It’s not good blog, and it hasn’t been for some time.<\/p>\n
