Thanks for all the fish

I've now shut this blog down completely, in accordance with my plans. To those of you that contributed to it with comments or time, thank you. Its surprising how much a part of my life this blog was, and how difficult it was to give up. Even now, I can't bring myself to just click the 'delete blog' button. to whit, I have gone through and individually deleted all the posts here, with the exception of this one, and a few few others that will remain on in perpetuity.
