It's taken a long time to figure out what I wanted from this space on the Internet. I certainly didn't know it 5 years ago, or 4, or even 3 or 2. What I do know is that a thousand people could show up on my doorstep and express their pleasure for what I write, but it's not worth it if one person tells me they were hurt.

Thank you for reading almostlucid.com all of these years. I have met wonderful people through this site. Some of you have visited my home, sewn dresses and smocks for my kids, given wonderful advice, and shared in the joy and the heartache of my life through words and pictures. Thank you. This has been an amazing way to stay in touch with family and friends. We will simply find another way.

Goodbye.
