“After all, the best part of a holiday is perhaps not
so much to be resting yourself, as to see all the other fellows busy working.”

A Bit of a Break |
The time has come for me to
take a bit of a break. I’ve worked diligently, posting weekly for a few years
now without fail, even if there have been times I’ve been hard pressed to keep up that pace – I blame
laziness on my part when it does happen and nothing else – but I never failed to do so, regardless. I usually endeavour, though, to keep a
few posts in the bank, so to speak, to give me time to work on fairly lengthy posts and
series, and for those times when life comes calling and circumstances keep me away from my
labours.
But alas, this
will not be possible for a while: I’m going on holidays, my first lengthy trek
since COVID struck and locked us down, my first since I retired. Therefore, I will not be keeping up my record of posting weekly without
fail.
Do not despair! There’s many a
Greyhawk blog out there for you to keep abreast of while I’m away. Here’s a
few:
Greyhawkery. I expect you already know all about Mike Bridges’ 1000+ post website.The Sages - Greyhawk Grognard. Joe Bloch posts to both his blog and his YouTube channel. That ought to occupy your reading a viewing for a time.
- Greyhawk Stories. Tommy Jon Kelly will keep you entertained with an abundance of fiction, from his pen and others.
- Domain of Greyhawk. Paul Jurdeczka not only blogs but writes. Check out his gazetteer of Nyrond, among other things.
So, without further ado, I'll catch you on the flip
side.
Oh! Where am I going? Turkey. It’s high time I saw Troy,
the Ionian coast, the realms of Herodotus, and Çatalhöyük with my own eyes. Bucket
list. You understand, I’m sure.
“If a man insisted on always being serious, and never
allowed himself a bit of fun and relaxation, he would go mad or become unstable
without knowing it.”

Wow! That's a cool reason for a hiatus. I can't wait to hear all about your trips. Take it easy buddy!
ReplyDeleteThank you for all your posts over the recent years and enjoy your vacation. You certainly deserve the break.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the trip. I will be eagerly awaiting updates on the flip side.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your work on this blog. Your scholarship on Greyhawk history is second to none.
ReplyDeleteI just discovered you and looking forward to reading all your past posts. Do you have a Patreon account?
ReplyDeleteI do not. This is a labour of love, as they say; merely a pastime.
