My apologies as well to anyone who actually read all of that, because I seriously doubt it was interesting or amusing or insightful in the least, and a post should be at least one of those even if it's not a million words long, like my post was.

But, I learned a long time ago that endlessly raking yourself over the coals is rarely productive. I did something I consider wrong, but I'm not going to pretend I didn't do it (for instance, by deleting the post) and ... well, basically I will try to move forward with consider this past mistake as an opportunity for growth going forward. I like to imagine I'm pretty aware of what I'm feeling, these days. Here's one glaring recent example to prove that's not necessarily so.

Anyways, *this* should be my last post, here. I started a new blog, didn't like it, so recently created a different one, and this one feels right. I will hold off on linking to it, though, if anyone cares. I want to get a few posts in on a clean slate, first.
