After a lot of thought I've decided to take the blog private. I've not done this before, and I am sad that I have come to this conclusion. However, sometimes things just don't work out as we wish they had.

This means you will need to sign in before you can read the blog posts. I regret the inconvenience, but I do hope you will bear with me.

If you would like to continue to read here, leave me your email address below, in the comments block. I have engaged comment moderation so they will not be published, and I will not publish your email addresses. I simply need them to include in the permissions for reading.

The blog will remain open for a week or so. After I have set up the permissions for you to sign in, I will change it to the private status. I do hope most of you who read here will put up with the nuisance involved. I treasure your comments.
