Closing Shop: Going to California
Visiting my hometown for the first time in five years (San Diego)... considering closing Dialogic as I'm not sure if it is really useful to me anymore. Disconnected my Internet at home...

But what do you do without the Internet? Read?
Actually, I wonder if this is a common thought at this time of year. Blogocide... A nasty term.
Ah! I'd be sad to hear you go if this is for real, but would you mind leaving the site up for a while? I would really appreciate it as I've been meaning to read through some of the archives.
Keep going with it, it is wonderfulxxx And if you don't keep going, please stay in touch. You have a gift. A real gift. Have enjoyed your words greatly. Keep it going in some way if you can. Hope you are okxxx Really do. Take care and have a good visit. Let me know how it goes. All things are transient and all the world in the heart can lead to different roads and pathways. Let it guide you to the next place. I'm sure it will come soon. In fact I know that it will lead you onwards. I feel it in your work. Let it speak to youxx
Hello everyone, California is great :) hiking everyday (10 miles+) and making the most of the beaches, valleys, mountains, deserts. (my only regret is that El Oso isn't in town)
I'll start Dialogic up in the first weeks of January, but for now I am enjoying being disconnected (very refreshing and healthy)... I will have a lot to say when I get back as I have been spending this time in my homeplace becoming myself (or reacquainting my selves) through the places that formed and shaped me. I have always had a strong belief in the power of place (environment) and this trip has re-enforced that conception/belief...
No matter where we are, what we are doing, the first positive political/spiritual step is to make our places open, creative, experimental and stimulating (hello Lexington I am coming back--we have work to do :)
You know the last posts were my way of coming to terms with a very dark year, now you will have to all excuse me as I embrace my natural optimistic/idealistic nature.
Thanks for all of the kind words (BW, I have been staying offline and will reply to your email when I am back to work--sorry for the delay)

Well, now I know why he has not replied to my last email message.
:::sigh:::
I, too, will miss Dialogic. It was one of my favorite stops on the web. Even more, I will miss the email exchanges with Dialogic's esteemed author.
