The prods I’ve received from a number of people in the last few weeks compel me to state what I can no longer deny: this blog’s “Fire,” whatever it may once have been, has died out. Not even embers here, really; just cold ashes.

I enjoyed it while it lasted. I will post here no more; little loss, really, because I’ve posted here so rarely these last several months.

I’ll keep the URL for a time, so that the site remains here as a record.

Thanks to those of you who commented from time to time. You definitely made the blog better!
