To the faithful readers of this blog (all three of you),
I regret to inform you that this is my final post. Life has caught up with me. My responsibilities as a husband, father, friend, missionary/teacher, seminary student, and aspiring ice sculptor currently leave no room for the time consuming task of constructing coherent, meaningful (and hopefully somewhat amusing) blog material. Maybe when I retire (or find a job that only requires me to work twenty hours a week and still pays the bills) I’ll take this endeavor up again. For now, the Amateur Aficionado™ will stand as a monument to my desire to write about important issues (such as the meaning of life, coffee, and German shepherds) and my unfortunate lack of resources—viz. time, energy, and talent—to fulfill that desire.
In celebration of the relatively short life (not quite two years) of this blog, I leave you with my “Top Ten” favorite posts:
10. God Bless Iraq
8. Glimpses of Heaven at the Bar
