Note: This is the last post in the Live Journal Vineyards. It is here as well because I wanted to keep the entire archive locally. It does not mean this site was going to end and I changed my mind...
This is the last time I write on this Journal - this Live Journal. On the day it completes 15 months, I announce its end.
The quote for this last post is by Kosh, from Babylon 5 - as is the quote for the first post. I had the choice of closing the loop or using Bilbo's "I regret to announce that this is the end!". But I like Kosh a lot more than Bilbo - the last quote is his.
The Vineyards, as I finally managed to title them months after their start, recorded a vast number of dead power supplies, my last few complaints about Dark Ages, my adventures into the realm of Playstation emulation (someday I will have the console... someday), one unpaid and one badly paid work - and the one that paid good I forgot to mention -, three cats, and one amazing change that could make one dance all night. I regret not having written more, but I am glad I wrote all I did (except that post about the radio, really... and that other about Matrix Revolutions).
Abandoning this is costly to me, I realize, as I struggle for a long time and fail to find proper words to conclude this ending. Abandoning this is also a bit unfair... The lovely rose garden recently planted on the other side of my fence seemed promising, but grapes for company the roses will have no more.
Ah, I am certain no matter how much time I spend here trying to write a worthy finale, I will think something is missing or badly written as soon as it is posted. I will skip the phase of spending hours here, then, and just post what I have.
My six readers, I sincerely apologize, and hope you can find another source of endless, evergoing texts about the most pointless of subjects. So no one can say I merely abandoned you to your own luck, I will mention you can start searching here.
And now I cheat Kosh and conclude with a quote from Loom, said by Fleece, leader of the Guild of Shepherds:
"Hail, and fare well."
