I am beyond words...

It's been a lot of fun, G.M.  I learned a lot and enjoyed meeting so many nice people here, of which you have been the greatest.  During this time, it has been a joy to see you overcome cancer and to encourage others with the same battle.  I know your decision to suspend blogging was difficult and can appreciate how you must have agonized over this last post.  Keep everyone posted from time-to-time of changes in your life and with your thoughts, which I always admired.  In the meantime, I'll check to see if the folks linked to my name can use my insight.  Best to you and all.

Your friend,

Woody

GM,

I've come close several times to quitting or suspending blogging.  So far, I've kept hanging in there.

I will look forward to any posts you write -- no matter how intermittent.

Keep well!

4 If you're not enjoying it,  you should stop doing something like this.  It's been great watching, reading, and having fun together.  After my news break of a vacation, I'm quite tempted to join you as well, GM.  Do keep in touch.

5 GM, I'm going to miss your posts.  Be well, and please keep in touch.

6 I'll miss you too. Good luck in all your endeavors.

GM aka George Rex III (note to others, he knows what I mean...and 'tis not bad),

You are a good man, Sir.  No higher accolades can really be stated.  Your blog was terrific.  I learned and enjoyed.  I am heading East today, however, planning on returning in three + weeks.  Hope to get together pretty soon thereafter.

Life doth seem ever so brief.  Love those you love.  Throw flowers at worthies.  Don't over- agonize over bad 'uns nor perceived "short kicks".  However, defend against bad 'uns and learn a little from "short kicks" and marvel at just how many really "long kicks" you've made!

Or, and thank you for lacing up boots for your country.  While you may have had "artillery ear" passed along genetically, you did don the uniform and move out as far as you could.  I know, GM, 'tis the family business, in a manner of speaking.

8 My Dear Fellow Tejano,

I read this with some sadness, but I get it.

As our recent missives to each other can verify, you know that I too have been battling separation anxiety regarding cessation of blogging, especially since my career is about to take a different and far more fulfilling direction.

When that time comes that I'll finally say goodbye--and it will be sooner than later--there are some people I will miss.   You, namely.  I'll never forget how you and I met as fellow bloggers.  You wrote the nicest review of my blog last October.  You liked my writing.  YOU LIKED ME!!  It was a quintessential Sally Field moment.  Seriously, what you wrote was lovely.  So much so that this hardened, old, jaded heifer got teary eyed. 

You ooze goodness, GM.  Integrity too.  There's so little of that left among bloggers.  This is a world of liars and poseurs.  You are real, my dear. Sincere and legit and I have been and remain honored to know you;  even on a very limited basis.

Next time you're in Houston let's correct that:  you...me....many beers and much lambasting of the Left.

Keep in touch.  And so will I.

Best to you my friend,
Laurie Kendrick

9 You'll be back, GM.

The good ones always come back.

10 GM, God bless you and keep you.   I've enjoyed your insights and wit.   I will look forward to your return, even if it takes ~20 years, like Odysseus...

11 Good luck to you GM. Enjoy your break and know that we'll be waiting should you wish to return.

12 I will very much miss your posts and well thought out point of view.  I do understand... I can't remember when I have felt more like the "hope" has been pounded out of me.  I would rather comment on the idiosyncrasies of mankind than the inevitable "undoing" of the whole show.  Enjoy your time and days, as you are a most noble man and I feel a friend.

13 Wait!  What about my back pay?!

14 ...and pension!!!!

On a more serious note, we should acknowledge that Tony Snow passed away with cancer today.  There's little that we can add about this wonderful person and his courage, devotion, and inspiration that hasn't already been said by others.  However, there is something special that other coverage will miss.  

You might remember the email of encouragement that Snow sent to G.M. during G.M.'s fight with cancer, which is shared in this post:  For Tony ~ Fight On!  That email was very special to G.M., and I hope that G.M. doesn't mind me sharing the very end of a touching email that he sent me today regarding Tony Snow.

Snow was a really good guy!  I'll always cherish his letter.  Always.

That sums it up neatly.  We'll miss him.

16 Miss u already my friend! Happy trails and God bless!..hugs to your bride for me too!

17

Change? The good in you will never change my friend. I will cherish the stories and times together. I am richer for knowing you and can only wish for more.

GM,

Sorry to have dropped off visiting your blog - it wasn't a reflection of the quality of your material but rather too much other competition for my time. I've also missed being part of the community of regular commenters, of whose acquaintance I am reminded by their comments here. Your blog was my first home in the blogging universe, and it thus still holds a special place in my heart.

You've been like an older brother (which I don't have in my family), someone to look up to as a role model for my blogging, as intermittent as it has been. God bless you on the next step in your life journey.

No birth, identity, form—no object of the world,
Nor life, nor force, nor any visible thing;
Appearance must not foil, nor shifted sphere
      confuse thy brain.
Ample are time and space—ample the field and
      nature.
-Walt Whitman, Continuities

21 GM, I'm so sorry to see you leave the blogosphere. Although not as much of a regular as I used to be, I always enjoyed your blog and consider you a blog-friend.

Your blog has been a friendly place full of incisive postings and a good commenter ecology. I will miss it.

I dropped back to hardly blogging at all myself, after burning out r crazy 2004. Hence I understand the time it can take and the pressure to produce (if you want to keep a r4eadership). Do drop by the not-quite moribund Useful Fools and say hi sometime.

And finally, God grant you good health and happiness.

22 Sniff - Sniff.  Take care, old friend, and keep in touch!

23 Yes, I am here o wise one. Do what you need to do. We have loved you through your bout with cancer and your other scares healthwise; we appreciate you probably more than you will ever know.

24 God bless you and your family, GM. I forgot to include that part.

25 GM,

If you are tired, you must rest.

Live wise, live strong. Live prudent, live long. Just live and enjoy every day you have coming.

Take care of yourself and if you are so inclined to change your mind, we'll be here. Just let us know if or when you are back and we'll be here again.

26

enjoy reading you.  will miss you.  hopefully will catch you at BlogWorld, will be there both days with my wife.  e-mail me so that we can make sure we bump into each other there.

Be safe.

God Bless.

27 G.M.! WTF, dude? No, seriously, I get it and fully understand where you're coming from. I thought I would be blogging like crazy during this campaign season, but by the time I finish consuming so much information every day I just want to lounge around and hiccup! Love you very much. After the revolution, we will grant you a pardon and find a nice comfy job for you in the Ministry of Propaganda ( you know, sort of like Disney giving Werner Von Braun a job after WWII !). PLEASE stay in touch. Remember the Alamo!

28 Blogging has got to be a grind after a while so it's understandable that you feel it's time for a break. I am amazed that you have found so much worthwhile to say for all this time. I simply wouldn't know where to even start. Wishing you all the best. You have always been a class act and a true gentleman. Take care and be well. Happy trails ----

29 Wow. There's not a day goes by when I don't think of  my pals GM & Woody...I guess I'll just have to catch you over at Coop's (where Woody is becoming every bit as prolific, though not quite as verbose, as Reg

30 Damn, just after I weeded out -404's in my blogroll.  You will be missed.  Does TaTa for now mean the blog has been offshored to India?

We wish You and Your family and loved ones the best for Your health and Your life

Democratic and Republican party leaders put on their best game faces Monday, custom polo shirts embroidered custom making 11th hour arguments on the eve of midterm elections that seem certain to curb if not end Democratic control of Congress.

"We're hoping now for a fresh start with the American people," said GOP chairman custom shirts embroidered custom Michael Steele. "If we don't live up to those expectations, then we'll have a problem in two years."

His Democratic counterpart, Tim Kaine, said he believes Democrats will do better custom fleece jackets embroidered custom than some experts have contended, arguing that Republicans have been obstructionists who "can't see beyond the end of their no."

Kaine, Steele and other party leaders were asked once again on a slew of custom hoodies sweatshirt hooded custom network morning news shows to give fresh assessments of their prospects on the eve of balloting that will culminate a volatile — and possibly transcendent — campaign season.

Sarah Palin has deliberately left the question as to whether or not she will run in 2012 open. For those who believe a bid for the GOP nomination is still a possibility for her, The Arizona Republic provides women’s chef coats some further evidence: after months of rumors, Palin may have purchased a house in Scotsdale, Arizona. A deal on a secluded, 8,000-square-foot home in far north Scottsdale was recently closed by Safari Investments LLC for $1.695 million cash. The terms of the deal hide chef coats the identity of the owner, and when the attorney listed on the property records, Alan Kierman, was asked if Palin was the buyer, his response was an intriguing "no comment."

According to the Republic, Palin has been rumored to be considering aprons headquartering her 2012 White House campaign in Scottsdale, if there is a campaign. A anonymous source from her camp also told Ben Smith at Politico that she would base a potential presidential campaign in Scottsdale, near where Bristol Palin recently bought fleece blankets a house in Maricopa. Palin has also been mentioned as a possible candidate for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Senator Jon Kyl.

53 There will be some people who say that ice cubes are easily bought in shops but this isn't an ideal solution for everybody. If an individual does lots of party hosting, they'll be necessary to give a lot of ice cubes for their guests, which over time is going to cost a lot with respect to the cost of buying bags. Given that an ice machine will probably be a very long term prospect, it may prove economical for any consumer to purchase a machine to provide them with all of their ice needs.
