50 Was the Goal!

Dang it. I planned to get to the magic number of 50 blogs before I stopped writing. Technically I have gone past that number with 3-4 having been deleted after being written. Officially, though, this is #49 and my last. In a moment of clarity on a 400 mile road trip Monday, I realized that I've noticed all I can notice about Key West. And, as far as personal stuff goes, anything more would be exploitative of the people I now share my Key West adventures with. On the one hand I was able to experience life down here with an ear for how it might sound to someone reading the blog. On the other hand is the heavier load. I've developed friendships and don't intend for those relationships to be blog material any more than they already have. I'll say that writing the blog was a lot of fun and gave me something to focus on while I was getting assimilated. I enjoyed the feedback immensely. This whole process has kept me in touch with folks in a way I would not have anticipated.  But, I've decided to be a participant only as opposed to a participant and a blogger. I am going to keep the blog open so I can record the untanned faces of my visitors and allow you folks coming down to get the very limited publicity that goes with that. Ciao.
