I'm here, I'm here. Don't worry - I'm very happy right now and for the first sustained period in an incredibly long time things are calm, stable, and going extremely well. I'm quite content and more than a little relieved. I just haven't had much to say about all of it. Well, actually, that's not entirely true. I've had plenty to say...I'm just not sure I want to say it here. At least for the time being. For several weeks I've been contemplating the future of this blog and thought some time away from it would lead me to a decision. But I'm still on the fence. We'll talk about it soon, I promise. Be well, and stay tuned.

You'd had better not be considering blog fading. I, We, love your blog and the only thing I personally dislike about it is that you do not podcast. Your personality and humor is hilarious. I say this in jest so don't think I am threatening you: If you close this blog, I'm going to come to the city and hunt you down like a rabit dog. Catch my level of passion about this point (ha). Take care.
Allen from Rochester

Posted by: Debbi at October 30, 2008 7:14 AMAlthough I am honored to have you in my presence on a regular basis, in the glorious flesh, and I could get my fill of you (HELLO, SAILOR!) that way, I know that there are others who are not as fortunate as I, whose only real contact with you is here through your world-famous blog. I can't imagine being without you in some form, so I am putting myself in their shoes (which better be fabulous or the deal's off) and entreating you to please maintain the Barn!
Posted by: Jodi at October 30, 2008 8:38 AMOh, come on. Admit it. You're just fishing for compliments.
Oh, no please, Matt, please keep blogging. My life would be bleak and sad without your sunshine.
Okay, so that might actually be true, but come on.
Actually, you better plan to e-mail me more if you do blog fade. We need to keep up better anyway.

Matt –
You are a ray of sunshine in this dreary electronic world. You, in the context of your blog come alive with out “Flash” images. I understand growing and trying new things and a busy life, but don’t forget your loyal blog readers. Your insight on life helps some of us not reach for that bottle of Prozac (the drinking is bad enough!). Between you and Jodi you say what others (well, myself) only think. Do not abandon us.
XO,
Angie S.
Angie said exactly what I was thinking. Please don't leave....
