A loss

This blog is now over a year old.  I have enjoyed posting my material here and I have enjoyed tuning in to a select few blogs authored by other bloggers.  One of these, the author of which has not only been an inspiration to me but has also, unknowingly, been something of a mentor,  I have followed since the very beginning of my blogging career.  Now, sadly, plagiarists have pushed him into committing blog suicide; where once I could expect to find erudite wit and interesting photographs to brighten my visits to Blogland there is now no more than a clean slate.  A great shame.
