Gone Brita

Going off the grid for a while, as the youngsters and presumers now say. They used to say gone walkabout. They are both stupid expressions.

I don't envision any internet for a while, other than work, and I've never blogged on another man's dime.

Not a halfway house, or rehab, if that's what you're thinking. I'm clean.

I'm just not purified.

Going away? Where? How long?

Posted by: PeggyU at February 10, 2010 8:54 PM

Actually, I should have said "frog and a toad".

Charcoal filtering is a slow process. We'll be here when you get back.

Keep in touch.

Taking some time off, and this weekend is Daytona? A little to coincidental if you ask me.
Guess it is time to get the jean-shorts and Dick Trickle tank top out of storage.

As you will, my friend, as e'r we must. 'Til then.

WTF?

Well keep your powder dry then. Oh side note: The picture of the gook getting it on the side bar. The Col. has a resturant in NoVa Burke area. I went just so I can say I did. Food sucked but I didn't complain any.

Thanks for the notice and whatever transpires I hope it is positive. Others have bailed out for a while with no notice and well, it's rude. Readers do care. Can you estimate the time off?

Regardless - thanks for the writing - Velociworld has always been a favorite stop in my daily run around the web.

Happy trails.

Argh!

I crave the sound of your particular idiom.

You will be missed.

(Dammit. I might have to buy your book now to fill the void...)

It has been coming.

Off the record.
A new book, a new wife, a new mask, a new life.

Happy for you.
NB
Pupae and embryo is life forms, you are of the latter.

Can't make bail, eh?

Posted by: zonker at February 11, 2010 4:55 PM

Not to worry. We'll take good care of the place while you're gone.

...Hey Eric, where does V-Man keep the PBR around here?

Posted by: Cappy at February 11, 2010 8:33 PM

I'll be here when you get back, boss.

Not purified? They got something for that. It called "soap."

And don't use if all on Girth V.

Heya Kim, remember this?

"“And so, Blondie, it’s goodbye”.

Fair thee well, old friend. Where will I go visit that 20 times a day?

Your pal,

It's what you posted on Kim DuToit's site when he hung up the keyboard. Sucks, doesn't it, when the best writers on the net submerge beneath the waves?

You get slack, sure. It's obvious that you've plenty of foam and spume in your daily life, that you've gotta deal with, much less the flotsam and jetsom that washes up here in your comments.

Still, this is my 20 clicks a day site. Free Ice Cream Addict, that's me.

Withdrawl symptoms just ain't my thing. Stop me before I boil a bunny on your stove!

Serioiusly though. Deal with what'cha gotta deal with. And I'll look forward to your return, be it Tuco, a Thermonuclear Monk, or whatever other twisted form in which you might wish to reincarnate your posts.

But whatever you do, write. Here, there, or somewhere. The ether needs what you type, regardless.

Hey man, there better be a visit to my 'hood included in this hiatus...otherwise: No Excuses! (like I'm one to talk).

Lata, bro.

... peace out, brah.... give me a yell if you want to drive up to put some rounds down range..... I find that always helps....

Shit are you healed yet?

Is this the night that the lights went out in Georgia?

Posted by: sunny at February 21, 2010 2:04 AM

Shit. Now I know how a crack head feels when his source gets locked up. I'm going to have to slap a hooker around or Paint ball the mexican day labors hanging outside of the 7/11.

Posted by: JohnB at February 21, 2010 5:49 AM

Came over to throw another log on the pyre. Keep the site from going cold, you know.

Posted by: PeggyU at March 18, 2010 1:18 AM

Blog, dang ya!

Posted by: Cappy at March 18, 2010 3:45 PM

I fully expect to see your thoughts on this latest national travesty come Monday.

Posted by: Dick at March 19, 2010 9:04 PM

That's well known that cash makes us autonomous. But what to do when one doesn't have money? The one way is to try to get the personal loans or just secured loan.
